Time difference between Seattle and Dubai
Seattle

Dubai

Dubai is 11 hours ahead of Seattle right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Seattle 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 12 hours
- From around March 15, 2027: Dubai ahead by 11 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Dubai and Seattle don't overlap. The most workable window is 7 AM to 11 AM in Seattle, which is 6 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.
