About Gulf Standard Time (GST)

Gulf Standard Time (GST, IANA: Asia/Dubai, Asia/Muscat) is the civil time of the Arabian Gulf states, set at UTC+4:00 year-round (no DST).

The 'Gulf Standard Time' specifically refers to UAE + Oman in regional aviation/business usage. GST shares the same UTC offset as Mauritius Time (MUT), Armenia Time (AMT), Azerbaijan Time (AZT), Georgia Time (GET), and is +1 hour ahead of Moscow / Saudi Arabia. Major GST cities: Dubai (3.5M city, 4.8M metro — UAE + global trade hub), Abu Dhabi (1.5M city, 2.9M metro — UAE capital), Sharjah (1.7M), Muscat Oman (1.7M metro — capital), Salalah Oman (370K), Baku Azerbaijan (2.3M), Yerevan Armenia (1.1M), Tbilisi Georgia (1.2M).

About Central European Time (CET)

CET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to CEST = UTC+2) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The European Commission proposed abolishing the twice-yearly clock change in 2018 (with most countries to be permanently on summer time CEST), but final implementation was postponed indefinitely due to Brexit and COVID-19.
