Arabia Standard Time (AST)

The differences between time zones to each other are always specified in relation to the "Universal Time Coordinated" (UTC), the time on the prime meridian (zero longitude). Phoenix, for example, is on the 122nd degree of longitude west and thus in the UTC-7 time zone. Arabia Standard Time is consistent with UTC +3.

The Arabia Standard Time does not have an associated daylight saving time.

Further Countries in the same timezone of UTC +3

Although the timezone is named "Arabia Standard Time", it is mostly for politcal reasons. It simply means that, e.g., the beginning and ending of daylight savings time always apply here uniformly. There are some other countries, in which the clock strikes the same hour. These countries have the same temporal distance to UTC (Universal Time Coordinated):
