What to know about time in Morocco

Morocco has used UTC+1 as its normal time since 2018, but switches to UTC+0 for the month of Ramadan. The change dates move each year with the Islamic calendar.

Because of this, the difference between Morocco and Europe can change in spring even though neither side is following the EU daylight saving schedule at that moment.
