About the time in Alexandria
Around 139,966 people live in Alexandria, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Alexandria sits at latitude 38.80, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:31 and sunset at 07:50 local time, giving 13h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.80, -77.05) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Alexandria.
