Complete Time Zone Guide for Egypt
SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, and Egyptian cities. Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) is maintained year-round since Egypt abolished daylight saving in 2023.
Time Zone History
Egypt has had an inconsistent relationship with daylight saving time. The country used DST for decades, then abandoned it in 2011, reinstated it in 2014, abandoned it again in 2015, brought it back in 2016, and finally abolished it permanently in 2023. The constant changes reflected energy policy debates and public confusion, with the final decision prioritizing schedule stability.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Egyptian daily life follows Middle Eastern patterns with strong Islamic influence. The workday varies but often runs 9 AM-5 PM with tea breaks throughout. Friday is the primary day of rest and prayer. Cairo's famous traffic means timing is crucial yet unpredictable. Ramadan dramatically shifts schedules with reduced daytime activity and vibrant nighttime social life. Family meals and social gatherings often extend late into the evening.
