Golden hour in Manama in June

Manama lies at 26.23° N, in the subtropics, with short, decisive twilights. Its longest measured day falls on Thu 18 June 2026 with 13h 47m of daylight, and its shortest on Fri 18 December 2026 with 10h 30m — a difference of 3h 17m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Manama runs for roughly 34 minutes at the height of summer, 30 minutes around the March equinox and 34 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is at its most generous in summer, so summer shoots allow more time to work a location.

The sun sets toward 297° WNW in late June and toward 244° WSW in late December, a shift of about 53° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Manama, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
