Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan, with a population of about 601,600. It uses the Pakistan Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Karachi).

Islamabad does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+5 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 Lahore, Karachi.

Because Islamabad lies at 33.72° N, 73.04° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 24 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 55 min.
