Frequently asked questions

Does Morocco observe daylight saving time?

Yes, but differently. Morocco stays at UTC+1 for most of the year, but reverts to UTC+0 during the month of Ramadan. This is a unique DST pattern globally.

Is Morocco in the same timezone as Spain?

Morocco (UTC+1/+0) is mostly aligned with Spain (CET/CEST, UTC+1/+2). During standard time, Morocco is 1 hour ahead of GMT.

Why does Morocco change time during Ramadan?

Morocco suspends DST during Ramadan so that sunset — and the breaking of the fast (iftar) — occurs one hour earlier by clock time, making the fasting day feel shorter.
