About the time in Gaza Strip
Gaza Strip is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +3 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 24 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Gaza Strip 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.
The zone identifier Asia/Gaza is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Gaza keeps pointing at Gaza time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
