Complete Time Zone Guide for Azerbaijan
SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Baku, Ganja, and Azerbaijani cities. Azerbaijan Time (AZT, UTC+4) is maintained year-round.
Time Zone History
Azerbaijan adopted UTC+4 in 1997, shifting from UTC+3 used during Soviet era. The country permanently abolished daylight saving time in 2016, adopting year-round UTC+4. This decision aligned Azerbaijan with Gulf time zones facilitating oil industry coordination while maintaining independence from Moscow Time. The choice reflects Azerbaijan's orientation toward both European and Asian markets.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Azerbaijani daily life blends Turkic, Persian, and Soviet influences. The workweek runs Monday-Friday with weekends Saturday-Sunday. Business hours often run 9 AM-6 PM. Tea culture is central with çay (tea) consumed throughout the day in pear-shaped glasses. Oil wealth has modernized Baku rapidly. The five daily prayer times structure schedules for observant Muslims. Nowruz (Persian New Year) is the major celebration.
