How the world clock works
The clock uses your device’s time and the international time-zone database (IANA) built into your browser, which includes each country’s daylight-saving rules. Differences between cities update automatically when a country starts or ends daylight saving.
Each city shows the time with seconds, the date and weekday, its offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and how far ahead or behind you it is. A sun or moon icon shows whether it is day or night there.
Time zones across the Arab world
| Offset | Countries |
|---|---|
| UTC+4 | UAE, Oman |
| UTC+3 | Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, Syria |
| UTC+2 (+3 in summer) | Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine |
| UTC+2 | Libya, Sudan |
| UTC+1 | Tunisia, Algeria |
| UTC+0 or +1 | Morocco (changes during Ramadan) |
Governments can change these rules, and the tool follows the latest data in your browser. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states do not use daylight saving, so Makkah time stays at UTC+3 all year.
When a world clock helps
- Calling family or colleagues abroad at a sensible hour.
- Checking flight times and arrival times in local time.
- Joining online meetings and classes announced in another time zone.
- Following market opening hours in major financial centres.
To convert a specific appointment from one city to another, use the time difference calculator.
UTC vs GMT
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the reference the world’s clocks are set to today, kept by atomic clocks. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the solar time at Greenwich in London and is effectively the same as UTC for everyday use, so “UTC+3” and “GMT+3” mean the same thing — Saudi time.
Offsets are positive east of Greenwich, as in the Gulf and Asia, and negative to the west, as in the Americas. Some countries use half-hour offsets, such as India (UTC+5:30) and Iran (UTC+3:30).
Frequently asked questions
What time is it in Makkah now?
It is shown in the list above, to the second. Makkah and all of Saudi Arabia use UTC+3 all year.
Does the clock handle daylight saving time?
Yes. It follows each country’s daylight-saving rules automatically from the browser’s time-zone database.
How do I add a city?
Choose it in “Add a city” and press Add. Remove a city with the × on its card.
Will the page remember my cities?
Yes — the list is saved in your browser on this device only, and you can reset to the default list at any time.
Why is the time for my city wrong?
The clock relies on your device time. If the device clock or time zone is set incorrectly, results will be off; turn on automatic time in your settings.
How many time zones are there?
In theory 24, one per hour, but political borders and half- or quarter-hour offsets mean there are more in practice.
