Antananarivo is the capital of Madagascar, with a population of about 1,349,501. It uses the East Africa Time time zone (IANA identifier Indian/Antananarivo).
Antananarivo 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 Antananarivo lies at 18.91° S, 47.54° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 11 h 00 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 13 h 16 min.
