Current Time in Cairo

About Time in Cairo

Cairo's clock changes are relatively new: Egypt dropped daylight saving in 2016, then brought it back in 2023 — making it the only African country currently observing DST.

Cairo overlaps closely with Europe all day, plus a usable morning window with the US East Coast. Check the exact overlap with the Meeting Planner.

• Country: Egypt
• UTC offset: UTC+2 (winter) / UTC+3 (summer)
• Daylight saving: Egypt reinstated daylight saving time in 2023 after a seven-year suspension; clocks move forward the last Friday of April and back the last Thursday of October.
