About the time in El Obeid
The zone identifier Africa/Khartoum is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Khartoum keeps pointing at Khartoum time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
El Obeid runs on Africa/Khartoum, which puts the city UTC +2 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 05:47 and sunset at 06:17 local time, giving 12h 30m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (13.18, 30.22) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Obeid.
