About the time in Timbuktu
Around 84,208 people live in Timbuktu, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Timbuktu sits at latitude 16.77, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier Africa/Bamako is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Bamako keeps pointing at Bamako time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
