Regional context

Timezones across Middle East

The Middle East mostly sits at UTC+3 (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Iraq) or UTC+4 (UAE, Oman). Israel and parts of Palestine observe DST on a different schedule from Europe (typically Mar → Oct, but with local variation). Weekly business rhythm is distinct — Friday is the weekend across the GCC and much of the region, so Sunday-Thursday is the working week in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Egypt.
