Time Difference: London to Dubai

Summary

See the current time in London and Dubai side by side, with the live UTC offset (GST is UTC+4, no DST), updated every second.

How it works

1. Your browser reads the current moment from your device clock.
2. It converts that moment to Europe/London time using the IANA timezone database built into modern browsers.
3. The same moment is converted to Asia/Dubai time (GST, UTC+4).
4. The UTC offsets of both cities are compared to calculate the exact hour difference.
5. All three values — London time, Dubai time, and the offset — refresh every second.
6. When London switches between GMT and BST, the displayed offset adjusts automatically from +4 to +3 hours.
