Amman is the capital of Jordan, with a population of about 1,275,857. It uses the Jordan Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Amman).
Amman does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+3 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 Istanbul, Moscow, Baghdad, Dar es Salaam, St Petersburg, Jeddah.
Because Amman lies at 31.96° N, 35.95° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 15 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 10 h 04 min.
