About Fes Time Zone

Fes, Morocco uses Africa/Casablanca as its IANA time zone, and its standard offset is UTC+1 during the sampled months in 2026. Fes is one of Morocco’s major inland cities, with a large population center and strong links to education, tourism, retail, and administrative services, so accurate time coordination matters for both local operations and international calls.

Fes does not stay on a single seasonal schedule in 2026: clocks go back on Sunday, February 15, 2026 from UTC+1 to UTC+0, then forward again on Sunday, March 22, 2026 from UTC+0 to UTC+1. The final scheduled clock change is on Sunday, September 20, 2026, when clocks go back from UTC+1 to UTC+0 and Fes then stays on UTC+0 year-round; after that date, there are no further clock changes.
