Frequently asked questions

What is the time difference between BST and GST?+

GST (UTC+04:00) is currently 3 hours ahead of BST (UTC+01:00). This page recalculates the offset live from the IANA time-zone database, including any daylight-saving transitions.

Does BST or GST observe daylight saving time?+

London observes daylight saving time; Dubai does not, so the gap changes when London springs forward or falls back. Times on this page always reflect the current local rules.

What are the best meeting hours between London and Dubai?+

Standard 9–5 working hours in London and Dubai overlap from 9 AM to 2 PM BST (12 PM–5 PM GST). Schedule calls inside this window to keep both sides in normal business hours.
