About 22 days separate us from the beginning of winter time in Egypt in 2024. According to Law No. 24 of 2023 regarding the report on the summer time system, which was issued recently, the legal hour in Egypt is the hour according to the prevailing time, advanced by sixty minutes, as of the day The last Friday of April, until the end of the last Thursday of October, of every Gregorian year, which this year falls on October 31st, so there are about 23 days remaining until winter time is implemented.
The reason for choosing Friday to adjust the time. Whether summer or winter, it comes as a day off in the country in most sectors, which avoids the occurrence of any time-related problems or errors. Also, choosing a day off to implement the decision is important so that there is a great opportunity, lasting 24 hours, for citizens to realize the change and work on it. This is to avoid any problems or delays occurring to work, government departments, and basic work, in the event of a change in a normal working day.
