Khartoum is the capital of Sudan, with a population of about 1,974,647. It uses the Central Africa Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Khartoum).
Khartoum does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+2 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 Omdurman.
Because Khartoum lies at 15.55° N, 32.53° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 03 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 12 min.
