Did You Know?

A Capital Built on Seven Hills

Amman was a village of roughly 2,000 people in 1900 and now holds over four million — growth driven largely by successive waves of refugees, which has made Jordan one of the largest hosts of displaced people per capita in the world.

The clock: Jordan moved to permanent UTC+3 in 2022, abandoning the seasonal change. It now shares an hour with Iraq and Saudi Arabia rather than, in winter, with Israel next door.

Amman lies at 35.9°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The 9.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 36 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:36 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 15m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 3m. The swing between them is 4h 11m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Amman the sun comes up earliest on 12 June at 05:29, while the latest sunset waits until 1 July at 19:46. 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 Amman that civil twilight runs about 24 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.
