Istanbul and Houston Time Zone Comparison
Istanbul and Houston are two major cities that sit in noticeably different time zones. Istanbul is Turkey's largest city and historic capital, uniquely straddling Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus strait. Houston, the largest city in the U.S. state of Texas, is considered the capital of the country's energy sector and is home to NASA's Johnson Space Center.
Because Istanbul and/or Houston observe daylight saving time for part of the year, the gap between them isn't fixed — it ranges between 8 and 9 hours depending on the season.
With a gap this large, business hours barely overlap between Istanbul and Houston — an early morning or a late evening on one side is usually needed to connect with the other.
