Time difference between Singapore and Dubai

Dubai is 4 hours behind Singapore

Singapore, Singapore is UTC+8 · Dubai, the United Arab Emirates is UTC+4 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Singapore does not change its clocks and Dubai does not change its clocks — so 4 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.
