As the summer season approaches, Egyptians are increasingly interested in knowing when the Daylight saving time will be applied.
Daylight saving is applied by moving the clock forward by 60 minutes, and thus, it has a direct impact on official working hours, school schedules and daily life.
It has been abolished in Egypt for nearly seven years, before it was reinstated on the last Friday of April 2023, when the clock was moved forward 60 minutes, while standard time was set back 60 minutes.
The date for Daylight Saving Time in Egypt in 2026
We are just a few days away from the start of Daylight Saving Time in Egypt in 2026.
According to Law No. 34 of 2023, concerning the implementation of Daylight Saving Time, which was ratified by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on April 16, 2023, Daylight Saving Time in Egypt will be observed from the last Friday of April until the last Thursday of October. Therefore, the start of Daylight Saving Time in Egypt in 2026 will fall on Friday, April 24, 2026.
How does Daylight Saving Time work?
The mechanism for implementing Daylight Saving Time in Egypt involves advancing the clock by 60 minutes, in order to be 1:00 AM instead of 12:00 AM (midnight).
The Egyptian government chose Friday for the time change, whether for Daylight Saving Time or Standard Time, because Friday is an official holiday in most sectors of the country.
This choice was made to avoid any problems or errors related to the time, and to give citizens time to adjust to the change, thus preventing disruption to work in government offices and institutions that might occur if the change were implemented on a regular workday.
