[2] Before the revolution in January 2011, the government was planning to take a decision to abolish summer time in 2011 before President Hosni Mubarak's term expired in September 2011.
Following the results, the government decided on 20 April to temporarily cancel summer time, to make the necessary amendment to the laws and asked the ministers to work on a study to determine the probability of applying DST in coming years or not.
[2] In March 2023, the Egyptian Government announced it would be restoring DST, starting in April and ending in October.
The change occurs one second after 23:59:59 on Thursday to become 01:00:00 on the last Friday in April shortening the day to 23 hours.
To avoid having longer days during the holy month of fasting, Ramadan, exceptions have been made to the DST schedule when the two overlap.
