A Wall Forty Kilometres Long

Moulay Ismail built roughly 40 kilometres of walls around Meknes from 1672, along with granaries designed to hold twenty years of grain and stables said to have housed 12,000 horses. He ruled for 55 years and worked tens of thousands of labourers on it.

Meknes lies at 5.5°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 5.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 22 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:22 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+0 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 25m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 54m. The swing between them is 4h 31m. 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 Meknes the sun comes up earliest on 20 September at 06:08, while the latest sunset waits until 1 July at 20:37. 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 Meknes that civil twilight runs about 25 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.
