▉▉▉ Standard time observed all year
▉ Daylight saving time observed
As of October 4th 2022, Syria uses EEST (UTC+03:00) for the Syria Standard Time. Observing daylight saving time (DST) was dropped.[1]
Prior to that date Syria used EET (UTC+02:00) and observed DST, as EEST (UTC+03:00). Transition dates had in general been last Friday of March (sometimes first Friday of April) to last Friday of October, or before 2006 1 April to 1 October with variations.[2] This was similar but not same as the European Union, which uses Sundays.
