Egypt starts daylight saving time April 25, 2025
dostor.org (Arabic) —
Egypt will begin daylight saving time on Friday, April 25, 2025, moving clocks forward one hour. This change marks the return to daylight saving time after a seven-year hiatus. The shift, mandated by Law No. 24 of 2023, will see clocks advance by 60 minutes. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi approved the law in April 2023, establishing the last Friday of April as the start date. Daylight saving time aims to conserve energy by maximizing daylight hours, a practice followed in approximately 70 countries. Automatic adjustments will occur on connected devices; manual adjustments will be needed for others.
