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).

Everything You Need to Know About Prague and Egypt Time

Prague runs on Central European Summer Time (CEST) at UTC+02:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Egypt runs on Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) at UTC+03:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Prague 1 hour ahead of Egypt — a difference of +1h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Prague it is 10:00 AM in Egypt. Midnight in Prague is 1:00 AM in Egypt. Because both zones shift for daylight saving, the gap between them only changes during the few weeks each year when their transition dates differ.

Why people convert Prague to Egypt time

Scheduling a call from Prague to Egypt: a 10:00 AM start in Prague lands at 11:00 AM in Egypt, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Prague and Egypt are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM CEST time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM EEST). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Prague viewers need 10:00 AM in Egypt to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 11:00 PM if the event is anchored to Prague.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +1h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–4:00 PM CEST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Prague and need Egypt colleagues present.
Prague: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +1h gap.
Egypt: Clocks fall back on Thu, Oct 29, 2026. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.

About CET (Central European Time)

Central European Time (CET) is the standard time zone for most of Europe, covering over 30 countries from Spain to Poland, and from Norway to Italy. CET is 1 hour ahead of GMT and is used by the European Union's most populous nations. During summer, most CET countries switch to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+02:00). Major European financial markets in Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam operate on CET.

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.
