About the time in Baghdad
Sunrise today lands at 05:28 and sunset at 06:42 local time, giving 13h 14m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (33.34, 44.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Baghdad.
Around 7,216,000 people live in Baghdad, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier Asia/Baghdad is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Baghdad keeps pointing at Baghdad time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
