GMT ↔ GST Time Converter

Gulf Standard Time (GST) is 4h ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The offset comes from GMT being at UTC+0 / UTC+1 (BST) and GST at UTC+4. For example, when it is 9:00 AM in London, it is 1:00 PM in Dubai.

To convert GMT to GST, add 4 hours to the GMT time. For instance, 12:00 PM GMT becomes 4:00 PM GST. For times that cross midnight, remember to adjust the date accordingly — a "+1 Day" or "-1 Day" note in the converter above flags this automatically. You can also just type directly into the converter fields on this page for instant results.

Gulf Standard Time (GST) is 4h ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Put the other way, GMT is 4h behind of GST. If someone in Dubai says "let's meet at noon," that translates to 8:00 AM in London.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the standard clock time used in regions including London, Dublin, Lisbon, Reykjavik. It runs at UTC+0 / UTC+1 (BST) relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It observes Daylight Saving Time, advancing clocks by one hour during summer, so the effective offset changes seasonally.

Gulf Standard Time (GST) is the standard clock time used in regions including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat. It runs at UTC+4 relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so the offset stays fixed all year.

The best window for meetings between GMT and GST is when standard business hours (9 AM – 6 PM) overlap in both zones. Given that GST is 4h ahead of GMT, mornings in the earlier zone tend to align with afternoons in the later zone. Refer to the meeting hours table above to find the exact windows that fall within working hours for both sides. Avoid scheduling calls where one side falls before 7 AM or after 9 PM — those hours are shaded in the table.

Simply type a time into the GST field in the bidirectional converter above — it works equally well in both directions and updates the GMT result instantly. Alternatively, subtract 4 hours from the GST time to get the GMT equivalent. You can also visit the reverse page: GST to GMT converter.

For a few hours in the day, the conversion crosses midnight into the next or previous calendar day. Whenever a converted time crosses midnight, the converter above displays a "+1 Day" or "-1 Day" indicator next to the result. The 24-hour table on this page also shows the day change in the Day column. Always check this when scheduling across these two zones to avoid date confusion in calendar invites.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used by cities and regions including: London, Dublin, Lisbon, Reykjavik, Accra, Abidjan, Dakar. The zone covers UTC+0 / UTC+1 (BST)and shifts during Daylight Saving Time.

Gulf Standard Time (GST) is observed in cities and regions including: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat, Doha, Bahrain, Kuwait City. It runs at UTC+4, remaining constant throughout the year.

Yes. GMT observes Daylight Saving Time and shifts clocks by one hour seasonally. When only one zone is in DST, the gap between the two changes by one hour. The live clocks and converter on this page use the IANA timezone database and adjust automatically, so you always see the current accurate offset without needing to track DST manually.
