Meeting somebody off a late arrival means leaving well before the aircraft is down, and the terminal is further out than it looks on a map. This page counts down to 10:54 pm exactly, whether 10:54 pm is the landing time itself or the moment you need to be pulling out onto the road.
This is a display rather than an alarm. Nothing rings, buzzes or notifies at the end, and the page will not interrupt whatever else you are doing. If being interrupted is the point, set an alarm as well and treat this page as the running total you can glance at in the meantime.
The Emirates keep Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, and never move the clocks. Everything about time here follows from that: 10:54 pm in January is the same 10:54 pm in July, and the gap to London or Berlin changes twice a year because of what they do, not because of anything happening at this end.
Common questions
What happens once 10:54 pm has passed for today?
The count rolls over and carries on towards the same time tomorrow. That happens on its own at the moment the time passes — the page does not need reloading and there is nothing to reset by hand.
Which clock does the countdown use?
Your own. It reads the local time and time zone from the device in front of you, which in the Emirates means Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4. Travel and the count follows whatever the device picks up.
Will it alert me when 10:54 pm arrives?
No. This is a live figure rather than an alarm — nothing sounds, vibrates or notifies at zero. If you need interrupting at 10:54 pm, set an alarm alongside it and use this page as the running total.
Do the clocks change here?
No. The UAE has no daylight saving at all, so the offset stays at UTC+4 in every month. When the gap to Europe or North America shifts, it is their clocks that moved, not yours.
