Did You Know?

A City Governed by Nine Countries

Tangier was an International Zone from 1923 to 1956, jointly administered by up to nine powers at once, with its own currency and almost no tax. The arrangement drew writers, spies and smugglers in roughly equal numbers.

The clock: Tangier has kept GMT (UTC+0) since Morocco returned to it year-round in September 2026. Spain is visible across the strait, 14 km wide at its narrowest, and is an hour ahead in winter and two hours ahead in summer.

Tangier lies at 5.8°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 5.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 23 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:23 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 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 Tangier the sun comes up earliest on 14 June at 06:06, while the latest sunset waits until 30 June at 20:43. 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 Tangier 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.
