2. Add comparison cities with the “+ Add City” button: Click + Add City and search for cities such as London, Dubai, and New York. These are practical comparisons for trade, aviation, and international business because Dubai is a major Gulf commercial hub, London is relevant for European partners, and New York is commonly used by US-based remote teams and import/export companies.

3. Drag across the grid to compare a workable meeting window: Click Select if needed, then drag across Orūmīyeh’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight that block in purple. This lets you see immediately that a morning slot in Orūmīyeh corresponds to 5:30 AM to 7:30 AM in London during standard time, 12:30 AM to 2:30 AM in New York during Eastern Standard Time, and 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM in Dubai, helping you rule out impractical times for US participants while spotting a realistic Gulf-region overlap.

4. Export the selected time range for scheduling: After selecting a range, use the export options shown on the page: ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. For example, if you are arranging a logistics handoff between Orūmīyeh and Dubai or sending a meeting time to a UK client, the ICS file and Google Calendar options ensure each participant sees the event in their own local time automatically.

About Orūmīyeh Time Zone

Orūmīyeh uses the Asia/Tehran IANA time zone, the standard time zone for Iran. Its standard UTC offset is UTC+3:30, which makes it one of the relatively few places in the world using a half-hour offset rather than a full-hour offset. This matters when scheduling international calls because the time difference with cities like London, New York, or Tokyo often includes a 30-minute component rather than a clean whole-hour gap.

Iran currently does not observe daylight saving time, so Orūmīyeh remains on UTC+3:30 year-round. Iran ended seasonal clock changes in 2022, which means there are no spring-forward or fall-back transitions to account for when planning future meetings. For recurring schedules, this makes Orūmīyeh more predictable internally, although the gap with countries that still use DST, such as the UK, US, and Australia, will still shift seasonally from their side.

Orūmīyeh is the capital of West Azerbaijan Province in northwestern Iran, near the borders with Turkey and Iraq. Neighboring time relationships are important for regional travel and trade: Orūmīyeh is 30 minutes ahead of Turkey when Turkey is on UTC+3, 30 minutes ahead of Iraq when Iraq is also on UTC+3, and 30 minutes behind the United Arab Emirates on UTC+4. This positioning makes the city relevant for cross-border commerce, road freight timing, and regional business coordination.
