About the time in Petra
Around 2,908 people live in Petra, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Petra runs on Europe/Madrid, 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.
Petra sits at latitude 39.61, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
