Los Angeles and the US West Coast use Pacific Time — Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−8) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−7) in summer. The transition follows the same US schedule: forward in March, back in November. Silicon Valley operates in this timezone, making PT a reference point for the tech industry.
Dubai and the UAE use Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) year-round with no Daylight Saving Time. The fixed offset makes Dubai scheduling predictable throughout the year. As a major financial and logistics hub, GST is a widely used timezone in the Middle East and South Asia corridor.
Both Los Angeles and Dubai may observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between them can change twice a year. Here is what to expect each season.
| Period | Note | Los Angeles | Dubai | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Mar | Both on standard time | PST (UTC−8) | GMT+4 (UTC+4) | 12 hours |
| Mar – late Mar | US clocks forward, some zones still on standard | PDT (UTC−7) | GMT+4 (UTC+4) | 11 hours |
| Late Mar – Oct current | Both on summer / daylight time | PDT (UTC−7) | GMT+4 (UTC+4) | 11 hours |
| Late Oct – early Nov | Clocks transitioning — check exact date | PST (UTC−8) | GMT+4 (UTC+4) | 12 hours |
The transition window typically lasts 1–2 weeks in spring and autumn. If you have a recurring weekly meeting near a clock change, verify the exact date to avoid a missed call.
