Longest and shortest day in Djibouti
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 12h 48m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 11h 26m.
Between them the day length swings by 1h 21m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 17:39 on 18 November; the latest is 18:35 on 11 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 05:42 on 30 May to 06:32 on 25 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 7m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Djibouti different
Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 11.6°N buys you.
Over a year the sunset point slides 48° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 15 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 30 seconds a day.
On 21 April and 23 August the midday sun stands at the zenith, 124 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow.
The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 7 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
Planning a sunset photo in Djibouti
Arrive by 17:09. Golden hour opens at 17:24 and the sun is down by 17:52, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 263° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:05 and runs to 18:13, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
