Phoenix, for example, is on the 122nd degree of longitude west and thus in the UTC-7 time zone. Gulf Standard Time is consistent with UTC +4.

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

Although the timezone is named "Gulf 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):
