A Harbour Inside a Volcano

Aden's port sits in the crater of an extinct volcano, which is why its natural harbour is so unusually sheltered. The Cisterns of Tawila above it, cut into the rock, could hold millions of litres of rainwater.

The clock: Aden keeps UTC+3. It was one of the busiest bunkering ports in the world after the Suez Canal opened in 1869.

Aden lies at 45.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:00, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC+3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 53m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 22m. The swing between them is 1h 30m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Aden the sun comes up earliest on 1 June at 05:33, while the latest sunset waits until 12 July at 18:30. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Aden that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
