Current Time in Juba

About Juba Time Zone

Juba is the capital and largest city of South Sudan, home to approximately 525,000 residents. It operates on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3). South Sudan became the world's newest country on July 9, 2011, when it gained independence from Sudan following a 2011 referendum supported by 99% of voters — the culmination of Africa's longest civil war (1955–2005, with a brief peace). Juba is an extremely young capital city undergoing rapid development on the banks of the Nile River in the heart of sub-Saharan Africa. However, the country has been devastated by a second civil war (2013–2020), which killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. Despite vast oil reserves, South Sudan struggles with poverty, infrastructure deficits, and governance challenges. The White Nile flows through Juba, and the region's wildlife — including large elephant herds and the great Nile lechwe migration — represents some of Africa's most significant remaining natural heritage. Nimule National Park preserves significant wildlife near the Uganda border.
