This is especially practical for coordinating grain, cotton, or logistics conversations linked to Sudan’s Gezira agricultural region, where working hours in Sudan often need to overlap with Gulf and European business hours.
Drag across the grid to select a meeting window: Click Select if needed, then drag on Al Manāqil’s 24-hour row to highlight a time range in purple, such as 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM local time. On most dates, that same slot appears as 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM in London, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Dubai, and 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM in New York during Eastern Standard Time or 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM during Eastern Daylight Time, showing immediately why Gulf-based coordination is easier than US East Coast calls.
Export or share the selected time range: After selecting a range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is helpful when sending a confirmed meeting slot to a distributed team, because each recipient sees the appointment converted into their own local time instead of manually calculating Sudan time.
About Al Manāqil Time Zone
Al Manāqil uses the IANA time zone Africa/Khartoum, the standard time zone for Sudan. Its current standard offset is UTC+2, meaning local time in Al Manāqil is 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time and 1 hour ahead of nearby Chad (UTC+1) for much of the year. This offset places Al Manāqil in the same time band as cities such as Khartoum and often aligned seasonally with parts of Eastern Europe when those countries are on standard time.
Al Manāqil is in Al Jazirah State, a major agricultural area between the Blue Nile and White Nile systems in central Sudan. Because the city follows Africa/Khartoum, there is no separate regional time difference within Sudan for local travel or domestic business; trips between Al Manāqil and Khartoum stay on the same clock time. This consistency matters for bus schedules, government office hours, and coordination with markets and transport routes serving the Gezira Scheme.
Sudan does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Al Manāqil remains on UTC+2 year-round. That means the time difference between Al Manāqil and cities that do change clocks, such as London, New York, and Sydney, shifts seasonally even though Al Manāqil itself does not. For example, Al Manāqil is 2 hours ahead of London in winter but only 1 hour ahead in summer, which is important when booking calls, flights, or shipment updates.
Al Manāqil City Details
Al Manāqil is a city in Sudan with a population of 128,297, making it a significant urban center in the country’s agricultural heartland. Its coordinates are 14.2459° N, 32.9891° E, placing it southwest of Khartoum in the fertile Gezira region, an area known for irrigated farming and regional trade activity.
The local currency is the Sudanese pound (SDG), which is used for everyday transactions, transport, food markets, and business payments across the city and the rest of Sudan. If you are arranging travel, vendor payments, or local services, pricing will normally be quoted in SDG rather than US dollars or Gulf currencies.
