TRT and UTC+01:00 on the World Map
The map below highlights the TRT (Turkey Time) and UTC+01:00 (Western European Time) timezone regions across the globe.
TRT – Turkey Time
UTC+03:00Turkey Time (TRT, UTC+03:00) is the single time zone used across Turkey, fixed year round since 2016.
- •Turkey has used a permanent UTC+03:00 since September 2016.
- •TRT is level with Moscow Standard Time and Arabia Standard Time all year.
- •Because Turkey kept summer time permanently, western cities see very late winter sunrises.
- •Turkey previously observed daylight saving time from 1973 to 2016.
WET – Western European Time
UTC+00:00Western European Time (WET) is the time zone for Portugal, Morocco, and the Canary Islands, same as UTC+00:00.
- •Portugal is the only mainland European country in the WET time zone.
- •The Canary Islands are on WET despite being part of Spain (which uses CET).
- •WET is identical to GMT and UTC+00:00.
Understanding the -2h Gap: Turkey vs Morocco
Turkey runs on Türkiye Standard Time (TRT) at UTC+03:00. Morocco runs on Western European Time (UTC+01:00) at UTC+01:00. That puts Turkey 2 hours behind Morocco — a difference of -2h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Turkey it is 7:00 AM in Morocco. Midnight in Turkey is 10:00 PM in Morocco. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Turkey to Morocco time
- Scheduling a call from Turkey to Morocco: a 10:00 AM start in Turkey lands at 8:00 AM in Morocco, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Turkey and Morocco are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM TRT time (9:00 AM–3:00 PM UTC+01:00). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Turkey is 6:00 PM in Morocco makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM TRT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -2h gap is not.
- Block 11:00 AM–5:00 PM TRT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Turkey and need Morocco colleagues present.
- Morocco: Clocks fall back on Sun, Feb 7, 2027. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
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.
About WET (Western European Time)
Western European Time (WET) is used in Portugal, the Canary Islands (Spain), Morocco, and several other locations. It is equivalent to GMT/UTC. During summer, Portugal and the Canary Islands switch to WEST (Western European Summer Time, UTC+01:00).
Best time to call between Turkey and Morocco
Both Turkey and Morocco sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 11:00 AM–5:00 PM TRT, which is 9:00 AM–3:00 PM UTC+01:00. That gives roughly 6 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
Turkey and Morocco share 6 hours of working-hours overlap (11:00 AM–5:00 PM TRT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
Turkey is 2 hours behind Morocco (TRT UTC+03:00 → UTC+01:00 UTC+01:00). The shared working window is 11:00 AM–5:00 PM TRT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
