About the time in Latakia
The zone identifier Asia/Damascus is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Damascus keeps pointing at Damascus time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:00 and sunset at 07:20 local time, giving 13h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.53, 35.79) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Latakia.
Latakia sits at latitude 35.53, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
