Time difference between Stockholm and Dubai
Dubai is 2 hours ahead of Stockholm
Stockholm, Sweden is UTC+1 · 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 Stockholm goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Dubai does not change its clocks.
| Stockholm / Dubai clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 2 hours ahead | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 3 hours ahead | about 22 weeks |
Dubai stays put all year while Stockholm moves, so a meeting fixed in Dubai's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Stockholm's end.
