Convert time from Moroni
Moroni is the capital of the Comoros, a small island nation in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the Mozambican coast. It runs on East Africa Time, UTC+3, year-round with no daylight saving. The Comoros keeps this fixed offset aligned with the East African mainland.
The Comoros is a predominantly Muslim nation, and the five daily prayers structure the day in Moroni as much as the civil clock does. The Grande MosquΓ©e de Moroni, one of the largest mosques in the Indian Ocean region, broadcasts the adhan across the city at each prayer time.
coups, prayer times, and a stable UTC+3
The islands have a complex political history: a series of coups in the decades after independence from France in 1975 gave the Comoros one of the highest per-capita coup rates in the world. Through all the political changes, the timezone remained stable at UTC+3.
Mamoudzou in nearby Mayotte (French territory) shares this offset. 9am in Moroni is 6am in London during European winter.
