Casablanca time zone at a glance
The key facts for Casablanca, Morocco, and how its clock relates to UTC.
About time in Casablanca
Casablanca follows Morocco's unusual time arrangement, staying on permanent UTC+1 for most of the year. The twist comes during Ramadan, when the country temporarily falls back to UTC+0 to ease the daily fasting schedule, then returns to UTC+1 once the holy month ends. Because Ramadan moves earlier by about eleven days each year on the Gregorian calendar, the exact dates of this shift change annually. This makes Casablanca one of the few places where the clock effectively follows a religious calendar rather than the seasons.
Casablanca does not observe daylight saving time, so it keeps a fixed offset of UTC+1 (UTC+0 during Ramadan) every day of the year. The live clock above reads Casablanca's local time directly from the IANA time zone database in your browser, so it stays accurate through daylight-saving transitions without any manual adjustment.
