What time is it in Egypt?

Egypt is currently on standard time, UTC+2:00. The next change is Friday, April 30, 2027, when clocks go forward one hour — 12:00 am becomes 1:00 am local time.

Cairo is 7 hours ahead of New York and 10 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 4:00 pm in Cairo.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 10 hours 41 minutes long in Cairo, and losing 1 minute a day. The sun peaks at 11:39 am, 21 minutes before noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Cairo sits 5 minutes of solar time east of UTC+2:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 3 hours 52 minutes in Cairo: 14 hours 5 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 10 hours 12 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
