About DAMASC

A fixed, year-round offset.

Damascus Time, represented solely by Syria, remains consistently fixed at UTC+03:00 without seasonal clock changes, simplifying scheduling across the region. This stable offset streamlines coordination with partners in the Middle East and neighboring time zones.

IANA zones · the technical identifiers

The zone that resolve to DAMASC.

For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.
