Dubai

Dubai is 9 hours ahead of Dallas right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Dallas changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Dubai doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around November 2, 2026: Dubai ahead by 10 hours
- From around March 15, 2027: Dubai ahead by 9 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Dubai and Dallas don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 1 PM in Dallas, which is 4 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.
