About Lankaran Time Zone
Lankaran uses the Asia/Baku IANA time zone, the standard time zone for Azerbaijan. Its standard offset is UTC+4, meaning local time in Lankaran is four hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. When it is 12:00 UTC, it is 4:00 PM in Lankaran.
Azerbaijan currently does not observe daylight saving time, so Lankaran stays on UTC+4 all year. This makes scheduling more predictable than in countries that shift clocks in March and October or November. For example, Lankaran’s offset against Dubai remains stable throughout the year, while its difference from London, New York, and Sydney changes seasonally because those places still use DST.
Geographically, Lankaran is in southeastern Azerbaijan near the Caspian Sea and close to the Iranian border, so its time zone aligns with Baku and the rest of the country rather than changing by region. Compared with nearby zones, Lankaran is 1 hour behind Tehran (UTC+3:30 in winter, +3:30 year-round in Iran currently without DST in practice depending on policy changes) by only a half-hour difference in some periods historically, and it shares the same UTC+4 offset as cities in the United Arab Emirates such as Dubai. This consistency is useful for transport, customs coordination, and business communication across the South Caucasus and Caspian region.
Lankaran City Details
Lankaran is a major city in southern Azerbaijan with a population of 240,300. It is located at 38.75428° N, 48.85062° E, placing it near the southwestern coast of the Caspian Sea and making it an important regional center for agriculture, local trade, and domestic travel connections.
The local currency is the Azerbaijani manat (AZN), which is the currency used for hotels, transport, dining, and retail purchases in Lankaran and throughout Azerbaijan. If you are arranging payments, invoices, or travel budgets, prices will normally be quoted in AZN, not in US dollars or euros unless a business serves international customers directly.
The country dialing code is +994, so international callers reaching Lankaran from abroad must begin with Azerbaijan’s country code before the local number. This is useful when confirming reservations, calling a local guide, or contacting a regional office in advance of travel.
