Why people convert Morocco to HKT time
- Scheduling a call from Morocco to HKT: a 10:00 AM start in Morocco lands at 6:00 PM in HKT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +8h gap: Morocco and HKT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in HKT is 5:00 PM in Morocco.
- Coordinating a Morocco-based team with HKT contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +8h gap is not.
- With a +8h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Morocco takes the early slot, the next week HKT does.
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).
About HKT (Hong Kong Time)

HKT shares the UTC+08:00 offset with China Standard Time, Singapore Time, Malaysian Time, Philippine Time and Australian Western Standard Time, but is listed separately because Hong Kong maintains its own timekeeping authority. As a major financial centre, Hong Kong's trading hours set the rhythm for markets across Asia, opening at 09:30 HKT which is 01:30 in London and 20:30 the previous evening in New York.
