How Port Said Keeps Time
Port Said keeps EEST, UTC+3. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Port Said; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.
Port Said runs on the Africa/Cairo zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+3 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC+2 on standard time and UTC+3 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 29 October 2026, when clocks go back one hour.
The sun rises in Port Said at 7:01 am today and sets at 6:07 pm — 11 hours 6 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:34 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (31.26, 32.30), so they shift a little every day of the year.
On the two solstices, Port Said has about 14 hours 11 minutes of daylight in June and 10 hours 7 minutes in December. The difference is about 4 hours 4 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
At the current civil offset, Port Said’s longitude corresponds to a difference of about 51 minutes between zone time and longitude-based mean solar time. Today’s calculated solar noon is 12:34 pm rather than 12:00 on the clock.
