Daylight Saving Time in Cairo
Cairo observes daylight saving time. Clocks run at UTC+2 during standard time and shift to UTC+3 during the daylight saving period, so the offset between Cairo and cities that do not observe DST changes twice a year. This is the single most common cause of missed international meetings — always confirm the converted time for the actual meeting date rather than assuming today's offset holds.
