East Africa Time, or EAT, is a time zone used in eastern Africa. The time zone is three hours ahead of UTC (UTC+03:00), which is the same as Moscow Time, Arabia Standard Time, Further-eastern European Time and Eastern European Summer Time.^[1]

As this time zone is predominantly in the equatorial region, there is no significant change in day length throughout the year and so daylight saving time is not observed.^[1]

•  Comoros
•  Djibouti
•  Eritrea
•  Ethiopia
•  Kenya
•  Madagascar
•  Somalia
