Dubai (DXB) is on Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4 all year. Its clocks don't change for daylight saving time. The airport is in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. Its codes are DXB (IATA, the one on your boarding pass) and OMDB (ICAO, the one pilots and air traffic control use).
Zulu Time and DXB
To get local time from Zulu, add 4 hours, all year. Going the other way, from local time to Zulu, do the opposite.
For example, a METAR or flight plan time of 1500Z is 7:00 p.m. local at DXB.
Daylight Saving Time
Dubai doesn't use daylight saving time, so the offset from Zulu stays at UTC+4 all year. When other places change their clocks, the difference between DXB and those places changes by an hour instead.
