Add comparison cities relevant to your schedule: Click + Add City and search for cities such as London, New York, or Dubai. These are practical comparisons for oil and energy coordination, NGO and government work, trade discussions, and travel planning, because Jamjamāl follows Iraq time while many international partners work on European, North American, or Gulf business hours.
Drag across the grid to compare a workable meeting window: Click Select, then drag across Jamjamāl’s row from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM to highlight a purple range, and use the side handles if you want to fine-tune it. On a standard-date comparison, that morning block in Jamjamāl converts to 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM in London, 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM in New York during Eastern Standard Time or 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM during Eastern Daylight Time, and 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Dubai, showing immediately why Gulf-region calls are easier than US East Coast calls.
Export the selected time range for real coordination: Once a range is selected, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially helpful when sending a confirmed Jamjamāl-based meeting slot to a distributed team, because the calendar export preserves the time conversion automatically for recipients in different time zones.
About Jamjamāl Time Zone
Jamjamāl uses the Asia/Baghdad IANA time zone, the standard time zone for Iraq. The city operates at UTC+3:00 year-round, meaning local time in Jamjamāl is three hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time and one hour behind Gulf cities such as Dubai, which use UTC+4:00.
Iraq currently does not observe daylight saving time, so Jamjamāl stays on the same offset throughout the year. That makes scheduling more predictable inside Iraq, but the difference between Jamjamāl and cities such as London or New York changes seasonally because the UK and much of the US still shift clocks in spring and autumn.
Geographically, Jamjamāl is in northeastern Iraq in the Kurdistan Region, within Sulaymaniyah Governorate, and it shares the same national time standard as Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Erbil, and Sulaymaniyah.
