The United Arab Emirates operates on Gulf Standard Time (UTC+4) and does not observe daylight saving time. Switzerland uses Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means that cities such as Zurich are typically 3 hours behind the United Arab Emirates during Swiss winter, and 2 hours behind during Swiss summer. For example, when it is 12:00 in Dubai, it is usually 9:00 in Zurich in January, and 10:00 in Zurich in July.
