The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 4 December; the latest is 19:15 on 30 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Karbala different

Across September the sunset moves 39 minutes earlier, averaging about 80 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Karbala

Arrive by 17:08. Golden hour opens at 17:23 and the sun is down by 17:55, 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 18:10 and runs to 18:20, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
