Dubai

Dubai is 8 hours ahead of New York right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. New York changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Dubai doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around November 1, 2026: Dubai ahead by 9 hours
- From around March 14, 2027: Dubai ahead by 8 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Dubai and New York don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 2 PM in New York, which is 3 PM to 10 PM in Dubai, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
