Rabat is the capital of Morocco, with a population of about 1,655,753. It uses the Morocco Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Casablanca).
Rabat does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+0 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 Casablanca.
