Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) year-round. Japan does not observe Daylight Saving Time — the country trialled it briefly after WWII but abandoned it. The fixed JST offset makes Japan scheduling particularly straightforward despite the large distance from Europe and the Americas.
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.
The offset between Tokyo and Dubai is fixed — neither location observes Daylight Saving Time.
| Period | Note | Tokyo | Dubai | Offset |
