About the time in Dakhla
Around 106,277 people live in Dakhla, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Dakhla runs on Africa/El_Aaiun, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 07:41 and sunset at 08:32 local time, giving 12h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.68, -15.96) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dakhla.
