Worth knowing
Morocco keeps UTC+1 all year with one exception: during Ramadan the clocks go back to UTC+0, and forward again once it ends. The dates move with the Islamic calendar, about 11 days earlier each year.
The arrangement dates from October 2018, when Morocco decided not to return to UTC+0 for the winter.
