Time difference between Dubai and Lima

Lima is 9 hours behind Dubai

Dubai, the United Arab Emirates is UTC+4 · Lima, Peru is UTC−5 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Dubai does not change its clocks and Lima does not change its clocks — so 9 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Dubai and nine-to-five in Lima 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.
