Sanaa is the capital of Yemen, with a population of about 1,937,451. It uses the Arabian Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Aden).
Sanaa 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 Sanaa lies at 15.35° N, 44.21° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 02 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 13 min.
