About the time in Riad
Sunrise today lands at 06:47 and sunset at 07:26 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.01, -15.98) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Riad.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Riad 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.
Riad follows the civil time used across its region of Mauritania; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
