'''Time in [Syria](/source/Syria)''' is given by [Arabia Standard Time](/source/Arabia_Standard_Time) (AST) ([UTC+03:00](/source/UTC%2B03%3A00)).

On October 4, 2022, Syria abolished [daylight saving time](/source/daylight_saving_time) (DST).<ref>{{cite web |title=Time Zone Change in Syria as of October 4th 2022 |url=https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/syria/damascus}}</ref> Prior to that date, Syria used [EET](/source/Eastern_European_Time) ([UTC+02:00](/source/UTC%2B02%3A00)) and observed DST, as [EEST](/source/EEST) ([UTC+03:00](/source/UTC%2B03%3A00)). 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.<ref>[https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/syria/damascus?year=2017 Clock Changes in Damascus, Syria (Dimashq) in 2017]</ref> This was similar, but not same as the [European Union](/source/European_Union), where transition dates are on Sundays.
