Frequently Asked Questions about DST in Sudan
Does Sudan observe Daylight Saving Time?
No, Sudan does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Clocks stay on the same time year-round. Several countries near the equator and in low-latitude regions skip DST because daylight hours change little across seasons.
What time zone is Sudan on after DST ends?
After DST ends, Sudan returns to its standard time zone, Africa / Khartoum (Africa/Khartoum). Standard time is the country's year-round baseline; DST adds one hour to that during the warmer months.
Why doesn't Sudan use Daylight Saving Time?
Countries near the equator gain almost no benefit from DST because day length barely changes across the year. Other countries have abandoned DST due to public opposition, energy studies showing little benefit, or to simplify scheduling. Sudan falls into one of these categories.
