New York to Dubai meeting time — find the best time to meet across ET & GST.
New York–Dubai connects Wall Street with the Gulf's financial free zones across eight to nine hours. The arithmetic is unforgiving — New York's morning opens just as Dubai closes its day — so firms on this route protect a narrow golden hour for live decisions and lean on overnight email otherwise.

Scheduling tips for New York ↔ Dubai
- The realistic shared slot is 8:00–10:00 AM ET, which lands at 4:00–7:00 PM GST depending on season.
- The UAE never shifts clocks; the gap widens by an hour when New York enters daylight saving — move standing invites then.
- Dubai's work week centers on Monday–Friday but runs Sunday–Thursday in many sectors: confirm which convention your counterpart follows.
