Frequently asked questions
No. UAE uses Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) year-round. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar similarly skip DST. Half of Europe, North America, and parts of South America observe DST — which is why the time gap between Dubai and London changes by 1 hour twice a year.
Historical and political. India is UTC+5:30 (single zone across the country, despite spanning 28° of longitude). Nepal is UTC+5:45. Iran is UTC+3:30. Australia has multiple half-hour zones. The IANA tz database handles all of these correctly.
It uses your browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat which reads the IANA tz database — the same source used by every operating system. Edge cases at DST transition minutes (the hour that 'doesn't exist' or 'happens twice' on switch days) may show ambiguous results, but for normal scheduling it's exact.
9 AM Dubai = 10:30 AM Mumbai, 6 AM London (winter), 1 AM New York. 4 PM Dubai = 7 AM New York, 12 PM London — usually the global sweet spot if you want to overlap with both US and EU.
GST is Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) — the official name for UAE's time zone. IST sometimes means India Standard Time (UTC+5:30, +1:30 ahead of UAE) and sometimes Israel Standard Time (UTC+2, -2 behind UAE). Always confirm which IST the other party means.
