How is it possible?

Can’t see the pictures, but maybe they are at the bottom of a steep canyon?

Oman is in the Tropical Zone which should mean that their shortest day of the year (potential daylight-wise),in late December,should be something like 9 1/2 hours.

Google Earth reveals that it is bordered very closely by 3000’ cliffs to the west, south and east.

It’s got palm trees and lush green stuff which probably has to be watered from a well. I think it’s in Pakistan. It doesn’t make sense unless it is north of the Arctic circle and it can’t be that.

In Colorado Springs the sun goes down everyday at 4. I mean, it’s not night - but the direct sunlight is blocked by the mountains.

Winter or summer. 4pm you’re out of the direct sunlight. I liked that.

Our farm is in a box “canyon” with steep hills west and east so our days there are noticably shorter than everyone else’s.... though not this extreme as our hills are not as tall nor our valley as deep.
We’re also cooler in the summer than the folks around us and facing south , with a third hill to our north, are warmer in the winter.
I imagine in Oman a short day is a real blessing from the heat.
