Converting Alaska Standard Time to Gulf Standard Time
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) and Gulf Standard Time (GST) are separated by a 13 hours time difference. GST is 13 hours ahead of AKST. AKST is UTC-9, used in United States, while GST is UTC+4, used in United Arab Emirates, Oman.
When converting from AKST to GST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM AKST equals 10:00 PM GST, 12:00 PM noon AKST equals 1:00 AM GST, and 5:00 PM AKST equals 6:00 AM GST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across AKST and GST
For professionals scheduling meetings between AKST and GST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 13 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
AKST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to AKDT (UTC-8) during summer months. GST does not observe DST, staying at UTC+4 year-round. During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
