Time in Morocco
Morocco uses one time zone nationwide (the IANA zone Africa/Casablanca). The clock above reads the current Moroccan time directly from your device's time-zone data, so it matches what your phone and search engines show.
Morocco uses GMT+1 all year, with one recurring exception — Ramadan: for that month the country returns to GMT+0, then switches back to GMT+1 shortly after Eid al-Fitr. This is why prayer, business and transport times shift during Ramadan. All prayer times on PrayerTimes.ma are shown in Morocco's official local time for the day in question, so you never have to convert them yourself.

Frequently asked questions
What time zone is Morocco in?
Morocco uses GMT+1 (UTC+1) all year across the whole country (Africa/Casablanca), except during Ramadan, when it returns to GMT (UTC+0) for the month.
Does Morocco change its clocks for Ramadan?
Yes. Each year the government moves the clock back one hour for the whole of Ramadan — from GMT+1 to GMT+0 — so that the fasting day is a little easier, then restores GMT+1 shortly after Eid al-Fitr. The exact switch dates are announced by decree.
Is Western Sahara on the same time as the rest of Morocco?
Yes, the whole territory administered by Morocco, including the southern provinces (Laayoune, Dakhla), uses the same clock.
