East Africa Time, or EAT, is a time zone used in eastern Africa. The time zone is three hours ahead of UTC (UTC+03:00), which is the same as Moscow Time, Arabia Standard Time, Further-eastern European Time and Eastern European Summer Time.[1]
As this time zone is predominantly in the equatorial region, there is no significant change in day length throughout the year and so daylight saving time is not observed.[1]
East Africa Time is observed by the following countries:
Comoros
Djibouti
Eritrea
Ethiopia
Kenya
Madagascar
Somalia
Somaliland (disputed territory)
Tanzania
Uganda
