About Venezuela Time (VET)

Venezuela Time (VET, IANA: America/Caracas) is the official civil time of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, set at UTC-4:00 year-round. Venezuela abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago and the country has had a complicated time-zone history — in 2007 President Hugo Chávez moved Venezuela from UTC-4:00 to UTC-4:30 (a 30-minute offset, citing benefits to schoolchildren's morning light), then in 2016 President Nicolás Maduro reverted the country back to UTC-4:00 (citing energy crisis and need to better coordinate with regional neighbors). VET serves approximately 28 million people across Venezuela's 23 states + Federal District + Federal Dependencies. Major cities: Caracas (3M city, 5M metro — capital), Maracaibo (2.3M), Valencia (1.4M), Barquisimeto (1.1M), Ciudad Guayana (900K). VET is the same offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST), making coordination with Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda, and Canadian Maritime provinces in winter relatively straightforward. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Caracas (BVC) operations, PDVSA petroleum-export shipping schedules, and Angel Falls tourism in Canaima National Park.

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). GST serves approximately 60 million people across: United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia (most), Mauritius, Réunion (French territory), Seychelles, Russia's Samara Time region. 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). Affects: DFM (Dubai Financial Market) + ADX (Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange) trading hours, Emirates Airlines / Etihad Airways hub-operations scheduling, Hajj/Umrah pilgrimage timings for travelers transiting Dubai, Dubai Expo + Burj Khalifa fountain shows + Dubai Mall operating hours.
