Dubai is 2 hours ahead of Tel Aviv during Israel Standard Time (or 1 hour during IDT). Tel Aviv uses Israel Standard Time / Israel Daylight Time (IST/IDT, UTC+2/+3) while Dubai uses Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4). When it's 12:00 PM in Tel Aviv, it's 2:00 PM in Dubai (or 1:00 PM during Israel's daylight saving time).
Israel observes daylight saving time while the UAE does not. This means the difference varies between 1 and 2 hours throughout the year.
Best calling time: 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM Tel Aviv time. This corresponds to 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM in Dubai (during IST), covering UAE business hours.
Since the Abraham Accords in 2020, Tel Aviv and Dubai have developed strong business connections. Direct flights now connect the cities in about 3.5 hours. The minimal time difference makes real-time business collaboration very convenient between these two Middle Eastern tech and business hubs.
