Egypt to transition to winter time in October 2026

Egypt is scheduled to transition from daylight saving time to winter time in late October 2026. According to Law No. 24 of 2023, daylight saving time remains in effect from the last Friday of April until the end of the last Thursday of October each year.

In 2026, daylight saving time will conclude on Thursday, October 29. At midnight, clocks will be set back by 60 minutes, moving from 12:00 AM to 11:00 PM, marking the start of winter time on Friday, October 30.

The implementation of these time changes is intended to maximize the use of daylight hours during summer months and to promote energy conservation.
