Time difference between Auckland and Dubai
Dubai is 9 hours behind Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand is UTC+12 · Dubai, the United Arab Emirates is UTC+4 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Auckland goes forward on the last Sunday in September and back on the first Sunday in April and Dubai does not change its clocks.
| Auckland / Dubai clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 9 hours behind | about 27 weeks |
| standard / standard | 8 hours behind | about 25 weeks |
Dubai stays put all year while Auckland moves, so a meeting fixed in Dubai's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Auckland's end.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Auckland and nine-to-five in Dubai do not overlap at all. With 9 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
