The King Fahd Causeway runs about 25 kilometres across the Gulf to Saudi Arabia and carries millions of crossings a year. Bahrain is the smallest Arab country by area and the first on the Arab side of the Gulf to find oil, in 1932.
The clock: Manama keeps UTC+3, an hour behind the UAE across the water. The causeway to Saudi Arabia, by contrast, crosses a border without crossing a time zone: both sides keep UTC+3.
Manama lies at 50.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The 5.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 22 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:38 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 13h 47m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 30m. The swing between them is 3h 17m. 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 Manama the sun comes up earliest on 10 June at 04:44, while the latest sunset waits until 4 July at 18:34. 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 Manama that civil twilight runs about 23 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.
