Kish has been a free trade zone since 1989, and visitors can enter without an Iranian visa — an arrangement that made a small Gulf island into a shopping destination. Its ancient underground city, Kariz, was a water system cut about 2,500 years ago.
The clock: Kish keeps UTC+3:30, half an hour behind Dubai across the Gulf.
Kish lies at 54.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+3:30, is built around the 52.5°E meridian. The 1.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 6 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:54 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+3:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 48m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 28m. The swing between them is 3h 20m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Kish the sun comes up earliest on 10 June at 05:00, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 18:51. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Kish that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
