Morocco's Unusual Time Zone: Changes During Ramadan

Morocco has the world's most unusual DST schedule — it temporarily reverts during Ramadan. Here's how it works.

🇲🇦

Morocco Time Zone

Morocco uses WEST (UTC+1) most of the year — but it's complicated!

🌙

The Ramadan Exception

During Ramadan (~30 days/year), Morocco temporarily reverts to WET (UTC+0).

🕌

Why?

Morocco's parliament voted to maintain Islamic cultural practices by reverting to standard time during Ramadan fasting hours.

⚠️

Most Apps Get It Wrong

Many calendar apps fail to account for the Ramadan clock reversion. Always use a live timezone tool during Ramadan!

🇪🇸

vs Spain

Spain is typically 1 hour ahead of Morocco (CET vs WEST). During Ramadan, Spain jumps to 2 hours ahead!
