About the time in Alexandria
Alexandria sits at latitude 31.20, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:58 and sunset at 06:36 local time, giving 11h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.20, 29.92) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Alexandria.
Alexandria is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +3 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 29 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
