About the time in Arafat
Clocks in Arafat stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +0 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mauritania.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Arafat day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 09:00–17:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Arafat sits at latitude 18.05, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
