Time difference between São Paulo and Dubai

Dubai is 7 hours ahead of São Paulo

São Paulo, Brazil is UTC−3 · Dubai, the United Arab Emirates is UTC+4 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — São Paulo does not change its clocks and Dubai does not change its clocks — so 7 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.
