Using Asia/Dubai in real projects
United Arab Emirates (Dubai) runs on Asia/Dubai, which is UTC+04:00.
Whenever your app stores a Unix timestamp and then displays it to a user in United Arab Emirates (Dubai), you should convert using an IANA
timezone identifier like Asia/Dubai rather than a hard-coded offset — the OS keeps the DST rules up to date for you.
For example, an event logged at 2038-01-19T03:14:07.000Z UTC renders as 01/19/2038, 07:14:07 GMT+4 in Asia/Dubai.
The same number means a different wall-clock time in London, Tokyo or New York — which is exactly why storing the epoch
value is the safe, portable choice. See how in the JavaScript timestamp guide or the
Python epoch converter guide.
