About the time in El ’Ayoûn
The zone identifier Africa/Nouakchott is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Nouakchott keeps pointing at Nouakchott time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
El ’Ayoûn sits at latitude 15.56, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
