Understanding the Munich – Cairo Time Difference
Munich runs on Europe/Berlin, currently CEST (UTC+2:00). Cairo runs on Africa/Cairo, currently EEST (UTC+3:00). The gap of 1 hour 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 Munich adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 2 hours. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
