The Australian navigated around the flat 12.6km course starting and finishing on Al Maryah Island with a stunning time of 14 minutes and 21 seconds.
Elia Viviani (Quick-Step Floors) struggled for pace during the time trial, and lost the red leader’s jersey.
Dennis is now top of the general classification ahead of Jonathan Castroviejo (Team Sky), with Miles Scotson (BMC Racing) in third and Jos van Emden (LottoNL-Jumbo) in fourth.
The Abu Dhabi Tour finishes on Sunday with stage five, a gruelling 199km ride from Qasr Al Muwaiji to the soaring Jebel Hafeet.
