About the time in Karkh
Karkh follows the civil time used across its region of Iraq; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 05:31 and sunset at 06:39 local time, giving 13h 08m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (33.25, 44.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Karkh.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Karkh day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 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.
