Understanding the +0h Gap: Kenya vs Turkey
Kenya runs on East Africa Time (EAT) at UTC+03:00. Turkey runs on Türkiye Standard Time (TRT) at UTC+03:00. That puts Kenya no time difference Turkey — a difference of +0h at the current offsets.

Why people convert Kenya to Turkey time
- Scheduling a call from Kenya to Turkey: a 10:00 AM start in Kenya lands at 10:00 AM in Turkey, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Kenya and Turkey are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EAT time (9:00 AM–5:00 PM TRT). That is roughly 8 hours of usable overlap.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Kenya is 8:00 PM in Turkey makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +0h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–5:00 PM EAT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Kenya and need Turkey colleagues present.
About EAT (East Africa Time)
East Africa Time (EAT) is used in the countries of East Africa including Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and others. EAT does not observe daylight saving time and shares the same offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK).
About TRT (Turkey Time)
Turkey Time (TRT) is fixed at UTC+03:00 all year. Turkey abolished seasonal clock changes in September 2016, moving to a permanent UTC+03:00 so the whole country stays on what was formerly summer time. That leaves Istanbul, which sits close to 29°E, on an offset well ahead of its solar time — sunrise in mid-winter comes after 08:30 local. TRT shares its offset with Moscow Standard Time, Arabia Standard Time and East Africa Time, so Istanbul is level with Moscow and Riyadh all year and one hour ahead of Central European Time during the European winter.
Best time to call between Kenya and Turkey
Both Kenya and Turkey sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–5:00 PM EAT, which is 9:00 AM–5:00 PM TRT. That gives roughly 8 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
Kenya and Turkey share 8 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–5:00 PM EAT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
Kenya is no time difference Turkey (EAT UTC+03:00 → TRT UTC+03:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–5:00 PM EAT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
