Understanding the Cairo – London Time Difference
Cairo runs on Africa/Cairo, currently EEST (UTC+3:00). London runs on Europe/London, currently BST (UTC+1:00). The gap of 2 hours is simply the distance between those two offsets.
Both cities observe Daylight Saving Time, but they don't switch on the same date — so for a few weeks each year the gap between them is different again. The next shift is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when London adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 3 hours. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
