The time zone is three hours ahead of UTC ( UTC+03:00 ), which is the same as Moscow Time, Arabia Standard Time, Further-eastern European Time and Eastern European Summer Time. [1]

As of 2015, the modified 12-hour system remained common, despite pressure to follow international norms.

As of 2018, daylight saving time (DST) is permanently observed in Morocco. Previously, time was advanced to UTC+01:00 at 02:00 on the last Sunday of March, and reverted to UTC±00:00 ( standard time ), defined as Greenwich Mean Time locally, at 03:00 on the last Sunday of October. This practice was continued until October 2018, after which ...
Music in Africa is embedded into every aspect of life and at every social transitions. Many other cultures have studied African music though time, hence the mass influence that it has had on others. For instance, in December 2002, the Swiss Society for Ethnomusicology held multiple conferences in an attempt to study the music of Ghana. The ...
Time in Guinea-Bissau is given by a single time zone, denoted as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT; UTC±00:00 ). [2] [3] Guinea-Bissau shares this time zone with several other countries, including fourteen in western Africa. [4] Guinea-Bissau does not observe daylight saving time (DST). [5]
