Abidjan is a city in Côte d’Ivoire, in Abidjan Autonomous District, with a population of about 6,321,017. It uses the Greenwich Mean Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Abidjan).
Abidjan does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+0 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Yamoussoukro.
Because Abidjan lies at 5.35° N, 4.00° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 26 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 49 min.
