About East Africa Time (EAT)

East Africa Time (EAT, IANA: Africa/Nairobi, Africa/Addis_Ababa) is the civil time for East African countries, set at UTC+3:00 year-round (no DST). EAT serves approximately 320 million people across: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, South Sudan, Comoros, Madagascar (mainland — UTC+3), and Mayotte (French territory — UTC+3). EAT shares the same UTC offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Saudi Arabian Standard Time (AST-SA), Turkey Time (TRT), and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) — making coordination with the Middle East and Russia simple year-round. Major EAT cities: Cairo (22M metro — uses EET/CAT not EAT), Nairobi Kenya (4.4M city, 9M metro — diplomatic + UN headquarters for East Africa), Addis Ababa Ethiopia (5M city, 5.5M metro — African Union headquarters), Dar es Salaam Tanzania (5M city, 7M metro), Kampala Uganda (1.7M city, 4M metro), Mogadishu (2.6M), Khartoum (Sudan — uses CAT not EAT). Affects: Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) trading, Serengeti / Maasai Mara safari schedules, Kilimanjaro climbing-permit scheduling.

About Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)

Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, IANA: Australia/Sydney) is the civil time of Australia's most populous eastern states — New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), Queensland (QLD), Tasmania (TAS), Australian Capital Territory (ACT) — set at UTC+10:00. AEST is observed in winter; NSW + VIC + TAS + ACT switch to Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT = UTC+11) from the first Sunday of October to the first Sunday of April. Queensland does NOT observe DST (stays on AEST year-round) — a state-level decision affirmed by referendums in 1992. AEST serves approximately 21 million Australians — about 80% of the country's population. AEST is identical in offset to Vladivostok Time (Russia), Papua New Guinea Time (PGT), Guam-Chamorro Time (CHST), and the US-territory Northern Mariana Islands. Major AEST cities: Sydney NSW (5.4M metro — largest Australian city + ASX home), Melbourne VIC (5.1M metro — 2nd-largest), Brisbane QLD (2.6M metro — 3rd-largest, on AEST year-round), Gold Coast QLD (725K — tourist coastline), Newcastle NSW (475K), Canberra ACT (450K — federal capital), Hobart TAS (250K — Tasmanian capital). Affects: ASX trading hours 10:00-16:00 AEST, Australian Cricket / AFL game scheduling, Great Barrier Reef + Sydney Opera House tourism operating hours.
