About time in Mecca

Mecca keeps Arabian Standard Time, UTC+3 from UTC all year. The offset never changes, so any difference between you and Mecca moves only when your own clocks do.

Mecca shares the zone Asia/Riyadh with Riyadh, Jeddah, Medina, Sulţānah, so a time here is also the time there. One canonical page per zone keeps the difference honest: the settlement name changes, the clock does not.

Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
