Scheduling Between Europe and the Middle East
European cities and the Gulf states (UAE, Saudi Arabia) sit 2–4 hours apart. With no DST in the Gulf, you get a predictable, generous overlap window.
Scheduling Tips
London↔Dubai: 4-hour gap in winter, 3-hour gap in summer (UK summer time, Gulf is fixed).
Berlin↔Dubai: 2-hour gap in winter, 1-hour gap in summer — nearly the same business day.
9 am–3 pm CET typically maps to 11 am–5 pm GST — a full 6-hour window.
Riyadh is UTC+3 year-round, matching Moscow time — 2 hours ahead of CET in winter.
Friday is a half-day in Saudi Arabia and a full weekend day in the UAE — avoid Friday afternoon bookings.
