About the time in Rafaḩ
The zone identifier Asia/Gaza is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Gaza keeps pointing at Gaza time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 07:20 local time, giving 13h 08m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.30, 34.24) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rafaḩ.
Rafaḩ runs on Asia/Gaza, which puts the city UTC +3 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.
