On October 4, 2022, Syria abolished daylight saving time (DST).[1] Prior to that date, Syria used EET (UTC+02:00) and observed DST, as EEST (UTC+03:00). Transition dates had in general been last Friday of March (sometimes first Friday of April) to last Friday of October, or before 2006 1 April to 1 October with variations.[2] This was similar, but not same as the European Union, where transition dates are on Sundays.
