That visual selection immediately shows that the same window is 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM in London during standard time, 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM in New York during standard time, and 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Dubai, helping you see why Gulf-region calls are easier than US East Coast morning meetings.

This is practical for sending a confirmed meeting window to an import/export team, inviting a remote engineering group, or sharing a scheduling link so everyone sees the meeting in their own local time automatically.
About Tashkent Time Zone
Tashkent uses the IANA time zone Asia/Tashkent, which runs on UTC+5 year-round. Uzbekistan does not currently observe daylight saving time, so the offset remains stable in January, July, and throughout the rest of the year. That consistency is useful for recurring meetings, payroll cutoffs, and transport scheduling because there are no seasonal clock changes to recalculate.
Tashkent is the capital and largest city of Uzbekistan, located in the country’s eastern part near the Kazakhstan border, and it serves as the country’s main administrative, commercial, and transport center. In practical regional terms, Tashkent shares the same UTC+5 offset as cities such as Karachi and is 1 hour behind Dubai (UTC+4)? No—Tashkent is actually 1 hour ahead of Dubai, while it is 1 hour behind places on UTC+6 such as Dhaka. This makes Tashkent a useful bridge time zone for companies coordinating between the Gulf, South Asia, and parts of the former Soviet region.
Compared with neighboring time systems, Tashkent is aligned with much of Uzbekistan on a single national time standard, simplifying domestic scheduling across the country. For international coordination, its fixed UTC+5 offset means fewer surprises than cities in Europe or North America, where DST shifts can temporarily change the gap by an hour in March, October, or November.
Tashkent City Details
Tashkent has a population of 1,978,028, making it the largest urban center in Uzbekistan and the country’s main hub for government, education, manufacturing, and international business activity. For anyone arranging meetings, shipments, or travel, this matters because most national institutions, large corporate offices, and transport connections are concentrated in and around the capital.
The city is located at 41.26465°, 69.21627°, placing it in Central Asia along important overland and air routes linking Uzbekistan with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Turkey, and the Gulf. Its geographic position makes it relevant for regional trade, textile exports, energy-sector coordination, and airline itineraries that connect Europe and Asia.
Tashkent uses the Uzbekistani soʻm (UZS) as its currency, which is the standard for local pricing, hotel payments, business invoices, and retail transactions across Uzbekistan. The country dialing code is +998, so international callers reaching Tashkent businesses, hotels, or local contacts will need to use that prefix before the local number.
Time Differences from Tashkent
Tashkent is on UTC+5, so its time difference from other major cities depends on whether those cities are in standard time or daylight saving time. Because Uzbekistan does not change clocks seasonally, the gap changes only when the other location enters or leaves DST.
- New York: Tashkent is 10 hours ahead of New York during Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) and 9 hours ahead during Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4). When it is 9:00 AM in Tashkent, it is 11:00 PM the previous day in New York during standard time or 12:00 AM in New York during daylight time.
- London: Tashkent is 5 hours ahead of London during Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) and 4 hours ahead during British Summer Time (UTC+1). When it is 9:00 AM in Tashkent, it is 4:00 AM in London during winter or 5:00 AM during summer.
- Tokyo: Tashkent is 4 hours behind Tokyo, since Tokyo runs on UTC+9 year-round with no DST. When it is 9:00 AM in Tashkent, it is 1:00 PM in Tokyo.
- Sydney: Tashkent is 5 hours behind Sydney during Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) and 6 hours behind during Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11). When it is 9:00 AM in Tashkent, it is 2:00 PM in Sydney during standard time or 3:00 PM during daylight time.
- Dubai: Tashkent is 1 hour ahead of Dubai, because Dubai uses UTC+4 all year and does not observe DST. When it is 9:00 AM in Tashkent, it is 8:00 AM in Dubai.
For business scheduling, this means Tashkent overlaps best with Dubai and London afternoons, while live meetings with New York often require Tashkent evening slots or New York early-morning starts. A 3:00 PM meeting in Tashkent is 10:00 AM in London during winter, 11:00 AM in London during summer, 5:00 AM in New York during daylight time, and 4:00 AM in New York during standard time, which is why US-Uzbekistan coordination often works better through asynchronous updates.
