Dubai operates on Gulf Standard Time (GST), which is 4 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+4). Dubai and the entire United Arab Emirates do not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains constant throughout the year.
Dubai shares its timezone with Abu Dhabi, Oman, and Mauritius. As a major global business hub connecting Europe, Africa, and Asia, Dubai's timezone makes it ideal for international commerce with overlapping business hours across multiple continents.
Dubai is home to the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building at 828 meters. Due to its height, people on the top floors see the sunset about 2-3 minutes later than those at ground level. Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest in the world by international passenger traffic, serving as a major connecting hub between East and West.
