Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:45 on 30 November; the latest is 18:34 on 2 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:44 on 9 June to 06:26 on 12 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Manama different

Sitting on the eastern side of its time zone puts solar noon at 11:29, a full 31 minutes before twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it.

It takes roughly 23 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 26.2° stretches this evening's golden hour to 45 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 53° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 66 seconds earlier each day this month — 32 minutes from the first of September to the last.

Planning a sunset photo in Manama

Arrive by 16:44. Golden hour opens at 16:59 and the sun is down by 17:30, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 17:44 and runs to 17:53, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
