Golden hour in Tel Aviv in October

Tel Aviv lies at 32.09° N, in the subtropics, with short, decisive twilights. Its longest measured day falls on Thu 18 June 2026 with 14h 15m of daylight, and its shortest on Fri 18 December 2026 with 10h 03m — a difference of 4h 12m between the two extremes.

Evening golden hour in Tel Aviv runs for roughly 36 minutes at the height of summer, 32 minutes around the March equinox and 37 minutes at midwinter. The warm window is actually widest in the colder months, which makes winter evenings unusually forgiving here.

The sun sets toward 299° WNW in late June and toward 243° WSW in late December, a shift of about 56° in where the last light lands — worth checking before committing to a west-facing viewpoint. In Tel Aviv, the sky reaches full darkness between evening and morning twilight year-round.
