Ethiopians are some seven years younger than the rest of the world! Ethiopia uses the Julian calendar. In the Julian calendar, a year comprises thirteen months; twelve of these months have 30 days. The 13th month has 5 or 6 days. New Year starts on September 11. Ethiopian time is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Days and nights are of equal length as in other equatorial countries. Each day is 12 hours long. An Ethiopian day starts at 7 am (counted as 1:00) and ends at 7pm (12:00 Ethiopian time). While you are in Ethiopia, in order to tell what the local time is, just add 6 hours onto your watch reading.
