Coverage Across Egypt

The directory currently includes 6 cities in Egypt. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.

Within this city set, Port Said is the furthest north and Aswan the furthest south, a latitude span of about 7.2°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.
