FAQ
How many hours between Dubai and New York?
New York is 8 hours behind Dubai (-8 hours).
When is the best time for a meeting?
There is no time that suits both: Dubai works 08:00–17:00 and New York works 09:00–17:00 locally, and those never coincide. Someone has to take the call outside office hours.
