Time
Luxor standard time is 2 hours ahead of GMT in the winter.
In Egypt the clocks go forward on the last Friday in
April and go back again on the last Friday in September.
Between those dates Egypt is 3 hours ahead of GMT.
European Summer Time, otherwise known as Daylight Saving Time,
in Britain known as British Summer Time, starts on the last Sunday
in March and ends on last Sunday in October.
As the European clocks
go forward sooner, and go back later, than Egyptian clocks, there
are a few weeks at each end of the summer when the time difference
between British / European time and Egyptian time is one hour less
than usual. |
For example, Egyptian time is 2 hours ahead of British time most
of the year, but between the last Sunday of March (when the British
clocks go forward) and the last Friday of April (when the Egyptian
clocks go forward), and again between the last Friday in September
(when the British clocks go back) and the last Sunday in October
(when the Egyptian clocks go back) the time difference
is only 1 hour.
As that all sounds a little complicated, there is an easy reference
chart below.
