Tunis is the capital of Tunisia, with a population of about 693,210. It uses the Central European Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Tunis).
Tunis does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+1 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 Kinshasa, Lagos, Luanda, Abuja, Algiers, Brazzaville.
Because Tunis lies at 36.82° N, 10.17° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 41 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 38 min.
