About Dhaka
Dhaka sits in the Ganges delta and is one of the most densely populated cities on Earth. Bangladesh keeps UTC+06:00 all year with no daylight saving, so Dhaka is five hours ahead of Sweden in winter and four in summer. The working week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday as the usual day off.
There is no summer time in Dhaka; when Sweden changes its clocks, the difference changes by one hour.
