The Ramadan Time in Western Sahara

Western Sahara has a very special time zone: Ramadan time. Normally, the clocks are set forward one hour for daylight saving time, so that it is light longer in the evening. Here, however, it is the other way around and, moreover, daylight saving time is also only about a month short. Only during Ramadan are clocks turned back one hour to artificially shorten the day. During the fasting time one should fast during the day - thus until sunset. So with this special time, you shorten the daily fast because it gets dark earlier in the evening.

Western Sahara has an east-west extension of 4.3 degrees of longitude. Given the country's location in Northern Africa, this corresponds to about 430 kilometers. With such a small extent the course of the sun at different positions in the country hardly matters. The position of the sun in the west of the country deviates from that in the east only about 17 minutes. This means the sun rises and sets 17 minutes later in the west than in the east.
