DST Switches – Morocco:

Morocco and Egypt are known to be the only two countries that suspend DST for the month of Ramadan. As Muslims are fasting, these states tend to reduce one hour from the daylight hours for the convenience of Muslims.

In this way, the time of fasting becomes short and the sunset takes place an hour earlier as compared to the normal routine.

The clocks in Morocco are turned back by one hour at the start of Ramadan and the clocks are switched to the same former time which was changed for Ramadan.
