The countries of Africa are on Standard Time throughout the year.

Egypt
Namibia
Tunisia

...as all observe Daylight Saving Time.

Note: Namibia is in the Southern Hemisphere, so it begins Daylight Saving Time in the fall and reverts to Standard Time in the spring; just the opposite of Egypt and Tunisia, as both are located in the Northern Hemisphere.

If Daylight Saving Time is in effect in any of those three countries, their individual time bar is marked with a (DST)

The worldwide standard for coordinated universal time, formerly known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), is now abbreviated as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Some sources still refer to it as UTC/GMT and some web browsers, I.E. Mozilla, still display it as GMT.

The UTC Time (shown directly below) is the standard time zone from which all other worldwide time zones are based upon. It never observes daylight saving time.
