Does it account for Daylight Saving Time?

Yes, our converter uses the IANA timezone database, which includes all current DST rules for every timezone in the world.

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. All timezones are defined as offsets from UTC.

Can I compare multiple timezones at once?

Yes, you can add multiple cities or timezones and see the equivalent times side by side.

How many timezones are there in the world?

There are 38 distinct UTC offsets in use, ranging from UTC-12 to UTC+14. This includes half-hour (UTC+5:30 India, UTC+9:30 Australia) and 45-minute offsets (UTC+5:45 Nepal, UTC+8:45 Australia).

What is the International Date Line?

The International Date Line (IDL) runs roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross it westward, you gain a day; crossing eastward, you lose a day.

Why do some timezones have 30 or 45 minute offsets?

Countries chose offsets that best matched their solar noon. India uses UTC+5:30 and Nepal uses UTC+5:45 because standard hourly offsets didn't align well with their geography.

Which country has the most timezones?

France has the most (12 timezones) due to overseas territories. Russia spans 11 timezones. The US has 6 (including Hawaii and Alaska).

Time Conversion Guide: EET to GST

EET runs on Eastern European Time (EET) at UTC+02:00. GST runs on Gulf Standard Time (GST) at UTC+04:00. That puts EET 2 hours ahead of GST — a difference of +2h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in EET it is 11:00 AM in GST. Midnight in EET is 2:00 AM in GST. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert EET to GST time

Scheduling a call from EET to GST: a 10:00 AM start in EET lands at 12:00 PM in GST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both EET and GST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM EET time (11:00 AM–5:00 PM GST). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: EET viewers need 11:00 AM in GST to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 10:00 PM if the event is anchored to EET.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +2h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–3:00 PM EET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from EET and need GST colleagues present.

About EET (Eastern European Time)

Eastern European Time (EET) covers a wide geographical area including Eastern Europe (Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine), the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Jordan), and northeastern Africa (Egypt, Libya). During summer, most EET countries switch to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+03:00). Turkey permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016, effectively leaving EET.

About GST (Gulf Standard Time)

Gulf Standard Time (GST) is the time zone used in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and other Gulf states. GST does not observe daylight saving time. Dubai and Abu Dhabi, major international business and tourism hubs, operate on GST.

Best time to call between EET and GST

Both EET and GST sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–3:00 PM EET, which is 11:00 AM–5:00 PM GST. That gives roughly 6 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

EET and GST share 6 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–3:00 PM EET), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.

EET is 2 hours ahead of GST (EET UTC+02:00 → GST UTC+04:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–3:00 PM EET. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
