Time in Ethiopia
The time zone in Ethiopia is East Africa Time . The IANA time zone database identifier is Africa/Addis Ababa.
Ethiopia does not observe daylight saving time.Almost all Ethiopians use a 12-hour clock system. The daytime cycle begins at dawn 12:00 and ends at dusk 11:59:59.
The night time cycle begins at dusk 12:00 and ends at dawn 11:59:59. The convention is that the day begins at 1:00 o'clock in the morning 12 hour cycle rather than midnight. Therefore, the local population almost effectively observes.
The current time convention persists despite inroads of international norms.
