Did You Know?

Where Raï Was Born

Raï developed in Oran in the 1920s and 30s in the cabarets of the port, and became Algeria's most exported music. Camus set The Plague here, in a city he described as having its back turned to the sea.

Oran lies at 0.6°W. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 15.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 63 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:03 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+1 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 35m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 44m. The swing between them is 4h 51m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Oran the sun comes up earliest on 14 June at 05:46, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 20:22. 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 Oran that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 30 minutes at the solstice.

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.
