About the time in Erbil
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Erbil day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 05:26 and sunset at 06:48 local time, giving 13h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.19, 44.01) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Erbil.
Clocks in Erbil stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Iraq.
