About the time in Nouakchott
Sunrise today lands at 06:47 and sunset at 07:27 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.09, -15.98) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Nouakchott.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Nouakchott day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 09:00–17:00 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.
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.
