What is EET?
EET stands for Eastern European Time. Its offset from UTC is UTC+2, 2 hours ahead of UTC.
EET is the standard time of eastern Europe and some neighbouring countries, two hours ahead of UTC.
Most of these places move to EEST (UTC+3) in summer. Libya stays on UTC+2 all year. Egypt has changed its clock rules in recent years, so check dates before you rely on them.
