Best Time to Call Saudi Arabia from South Africa
When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.
Time Zone in South Africa:
SAST (UTC+2)
Time Zone in Saudi Arabia:
AST (UTC+3)
Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in Saudi Arabia for business calls. For personal calls, evenings and weekends are usually best, avoiding very late hours.
When calling South Africa, keep in mind the country operates on South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is UTC+2 year-round with no daylight saving time changes. The best times to call from most Western countries are early morning or late evening your local time to catch South Africans during their business hours (9 AM-5 PM SAST), and remember that their consistent timezone makes scheduling easier since you won't need to adjust for seasonal time shifts. When calling Saudi Arabia (UTC+3), the best times are typically between 9 AM and 9 PM local time, which means calling from 6 AM UTC to 6 PM UTC to reach people during their regular waking hours. Keep in mind that Saudi Arabia does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference remains constant year-round, making scheduling more predictable.
