Longest and shortest day in Algiers
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 40m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 9h 38m.
Between them the day length swings by 5h 2m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:31 on 6 December; the latest is 20:10 on 28 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:28 on 13 June to 08:00 on 6 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 11m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Algiers different
On standard time the sun peaks at 12:39, 39 minutes after clock noon, because the city sits near the western edge of its time zone. Sunrise and sunset are pushed the same way.
Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
The shallow approach angle at 36.7° stretches this evening's golden hour to 50 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 5h 2m here — among the widest of the 42 cities tracked in Algeria.
Over a year the sunset point slides 60° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
By the end of September the sun will be setting 43 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 90 seconds a day.
Planning a sunset photo in Algiers
Arrive by 17:49. Golden hour opens at 18:04 and the sun is down by 18:38, 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 18:54 and runs to 19:04, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
