Johannesburg → Dubai Time Converter
Convert Johannesburg (SAST) to Dubai (GST) and multiple destinations. Use City/IANA/Abbreviation selectors, toggle Live ticking clocks or set a Custom origin time, select display formats, and copy exact formatted timestamps for coordination.
Choose selector mode & targets
Select City, IANA or Abbreviation mode. Pick Johannesburg as origin and one or more destinations (Dubai and others) to see side-by-side conversions.
Live clocks or a custom origin time
Switch to Live mode for ticking destination clocks, or enter a fixed origin time (past or future) to generate converted times for all selected destinations.
Pick output formats
Choose one or more display formats (24h, 12h, ISO, full date, or a custom format) so copied strings match your calendar or workflow.
Use per-destination quick actions
For each destination you can Swap origin/destination, Copy the formatted time, open DST Info, or go to the Jet-Lag planner for that timezone.

Practical Tips
Typical business overlap
Dubai is 2 hours ahead of Johannesburg (e.g., Joburg 09:00 → Dubai 11:00). A convenient overlap for same-day calls is Joburg 09:00–12:00 ↔ Dubai 11:00–14:00.
Late-afternoon calls (Joburg) for Dubai morning
Scheduling Joburg late-afternoon slots (16:00–18:00) can catch Dubai late-evening (18:00–20:00) — useful for urgent handoffs where Dubai teams are still available.
Remittances & banking timing
When coordinating payments, confirm cut-off times with local banks — use the converter to copy exact local timestamps you can paste in payment instructions.
Live vs Custom: recommended uses
Use Live mode to monitor arrival times or ongoing operations across a list of destinations. Use Custom to prepare scheduled slots and copy formatted strings into messages or calendar invites.
FAQs
What is the exact offset between Johannesburg and Dubai?
Johannesburg is UTC+2 (SAST); Dubai is UTC+4 (GST). Dubai is two hours ahead of Johannesburg—this does not change seasonally as neither city uses DST.
Do I need to worry about DST for these cities?
No. South Africa and the UAE do not observe daylight saving time, so offsets remain stable year-round. Use the Info action if you add destinations that may use DST.
How should I paste converted times into instructions?
Copy both the local date and time from the destination card (use Copy) and paste into messages or paperwork—this prevents ambiguity for partners in different timezones.

How It Works
- Accepts one origin and multiple destinations in City, IANA, or Abbreviation mode.
- Uses tzdb offsets so Live mode shows ticking clocks and Custom mode converts a static origin time across destinations.
- Displays formatted local date/time, a timezone label, and the numeric offset for each destination; flags date-rollover when a converted time lands on another calendar day.
- Per-destination quick actions: Swap origin/destination, Copy formatted time, Info (DST details), and Jet-Lag planner link.
