About the time in Arab Republic of Egypt
The zone identifier Africa/Cairo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Cairo keeps pointing at Cairo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Arab Republic of Egypt sits at latitude 27.00, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 58m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:34 and sunset at 07:32 local time, giving 12h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.00, 30.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Arab Republic of Egypt.
