Moscow-Dubai: the difference in time, the duration of the flight and tips for tourists

The United Arab Emirates is as popular with Russian tourists as Egypt and Turkey. Various trips are organized in this country. From January to May and during the summer months, shopping tours are very popular. After all, the very name of the capital of the country "Dubai" is jokingly written as "Do buy" - "buy". The UAE is full of ultramodern shopping centers, where at low prices you can buy clothes, shoes and accessories of fashion brands. No less popular tours are "Excursions + Beach", because in this country of the Persian Gulf you can swim and sunbathe even in winter. But when traveling to the United Arab Emirates, any traveler thinks: what is the time in Dubai for Moscow and other Russian cities? How do I translate the hands of the clock? Let's try to clarify this question.

The difficulties in translating ... the shooter

The transition to summer time is practiced in countries of high latitudes. It is introduced for practical convenience, so that the industrial capacities of factories and factories use the light day as fully as possible . But in the southern countries there is no such transition. In the United Arab Emirates, the difference between daylight hours in December and June is only an hour. Therefore, the whole year round the country lives on the same time. It is called the Time Zone of the Persian Gulf and is scientifically designated as "UTC +4". This means that in the winter, when London is midnight, the UAE is already four in the morning. But what about Moscow-Dubai? The time difference with the capital of the Russian Federation in this period is one hour. The main tourist flow from Russia falls on the cold season - from October to March. Earlier, in the winter of 2013-2014, there were no problems with the translation of the shooters. The government decided that Russians should live on summer time. Therefore, throughout the past year, the western part of the Russian Federation and the UAE existed in one time zone. And then the government was popularly explained that the real time is winter. It is then noon (when the sun at the zenith) comes at 12.00, and not at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Moscow-Dubai: the time difference after the transition

Since now the inhabitants of our country have finally transferred the hands of the clock to winter time (in October 2014), it is necessary to determine the time of Dubai-Moscow proceeding from this. In winter, this difference is one hour. It will be the same in the summer of 2015 and subsequent years. The same goes for St. Petersburg and the entire western part of Russia. But residents of the Kaliningrad region on arrival in Dubai should move the arrows for two hours in advance. All other Russians should hold a simple arithmetic operation in their minds. Count, what is the difference in time of your locality with Moscow and add an hour. A simple example. You are from Omsk, flew to Dubai at 5 pm local time. In Moscow, now 17 - 3 = 14 hours. Plus one - in fact, in Dubai, three in the afternoon.

Summer period

Those who come to sit out in the heat of Russian frosts or buy fashionable things for themselves or their business at the "Shopping Festival" (runs from January to March) already understand that from the new year after the end of the Moscow-Dubai flight, the difference in time will be Also one hour. In the summer in the Emirates it was unprecedentedly hot. But in Russia there are a lot of extremals who are attracted by just such "infernal" heat. In addition, for this period there is a "Summer Festival of Surprises". Shopaholics are waiting for unprecedented discounts - up to seventy percent. In the shopping centers grandiose lotteries are held where you can win big prizes: a large sum of money, a tourist trip to exotic countries, a car, an apartment in the UAE and even a bar of gold. Since the time difference between Moscow and Dubai does not vary depending on the season, tourists can only choose which event they want to visit. And, based on this, choose the time of year for your trip.

Moscow-Dubai: time on the way

Of course, when a person is young and healthy, he will easily survive a long transatlantic flight. But what if you are already old and your back is aching from a long sitting in a narrow airplane chair? And if you travel with children? I want to know how many hours to spend on board. The distance between Moscow and Dubai is three thousand six hundred and eighty kilometers. Fortunately, a lot of direct flights depart from the capital of Russia to the United Arab Emirates . So there is no need to increase the distance, getting with the transplants. Total travel time is about five hours. But this is an approximate figure. The length of stay in an airplane can be shortened if one knows certain subtleties.

Which airline to choose

The speed of the flight depends largely on the power of the aircraft engines. Therefore, it is worth considering the offers of different airlines that operate flights Moscow-Dubai. Travel time can be reduced to four and a quarter hours if you choose Emirates Airlines. Domestic Aeroflot will take travelers to the destination later, with a break in 25-30 minutes. It's better to take off from Domodedovo airport, so your stay in the air will be reduced by half an hour compared to those who left Sheremetyevo. It should also be taken into account that weather conditions, especially in winter, can make their own adjustments to the duration of the flight. At high altitude, strong winds blow, which can "brake" the airplane for an hour.
