Egypt to implement winter time on October 30, 2026

Egypt is scheduled to transition to winter time on Friday, October 30, 2026. According to Law No. 24 of 2023, clocks will be set back by 60 minutes at midnight on Thursday, October 29, moving from 12:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

The seasonal shift is part of a regulatory framework designed to manage daylight hours and optimize energy consumption. The law mandates that daylight saving time begins on the last Friday of April and concludes on the last Thursday of October each year.

Citizens are advised to adjust manual clocks and electronic devices to avoid disruptions to work, education, and transportation schedules, including flights and train departures.
