Current time in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

This page is a live clock for Dubai (IANA Asia/Dubai). The digits are Gulf Standard Time as used in the emirate—not a duration timer and not “UAE vs Beijing” math you have to do by hand.

Dubai stays on GST (UTC+4) all year and does not observe daylight saving. Beijing Time is four hours ahead of this clock every day of the year, which is why this landing is useful for stable meeting math.

Keep the tab open during flight-bank or trading hours. Use the world-clock hub to sit Dubai beside Mumbai or Moscow; remain here when you only need Dubai local time.
