Current Time in Gaziantep, Turkey

How Gaziantep Keeps Time

Gaziantep keeps Istanbul time, UTC+3. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Gaziantep; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Gaziantep runs on the Europe/Istanbul zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+3 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Gaziantep at 6:46 am today and sets at 5:42 pm — 10 hours 56 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:14 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (37.07, 37.38), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Gaziantep has about 14 hours 43 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 37 minutes in December. The difference is about 5 hours 6 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

The whole of Turkey keeps one time, so the clock on this page is also the clock in Ankara and in every other city listed below.
