About the time in Dubai
Clocks in Dubai stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in United Arab Emirates.
Around 3,478,300 people live in Dubai, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier Asia/Dubai is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Dubai keeps pointing at Dubai time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
