Riyadh operates on Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) and does not observe daylight saving time. Many Western European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland, use Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October, making them typically 2 hours behind Riyadh in winter and 1 hour behind in summer. The United Kingdom uses Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) in winter and British Summer Time (UTC+1) in summer, usually 3 hours behind Riyadh in winter and 2 hours behind in summer. Turkey, including Istanbul, follows Turkey Time, which is generally UTC+3 year-round, so it is usually aligned with Riyadh time, though you should always check local time before you travel.
