SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Abuja to Dubai. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Abuja and Dubai lies at approximately 18.6266°N, 30.2736°E — the position that is an equal 2,676 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Dubai (Asia/Dubai) is 3 hours ahead of Abuja (Africa/Lagos) all year; daylight saving does not change the gap.
