This means the offset between Dubai and DST-observing countries such as the UK or the US shifts by one hour each spring and autumn when those countries change their clocks.
Is GST the same as UAE Standard Time?
Yes, UAE Standard Time is the national designation for the same UTC+4:00 offset that Gulf Standard Time describes regionally. Both terms refer to the same fixed clock used across the United Arab Emirates, and GST additionally covers Oman under its regional name.
