Algiers is the capital of Algeria, with a population of about 2,364,230. It uses the Central European Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Algiers).
Algiers does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+1 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 Kinshasa, Lagos, Luanda, Abuja, Brazzaville, N'Djamena.
Because Algiers lies at 36.73° N, 3.09° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 41 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 39 min.
