Add comparison cities relevant to your schedule: Click + Add City and search for cities such as London, New York, or Dubai. These are practical comparisons for trade, shipping, tourism, and remote work because Egypt often overlaps with Gulf business hours, partially overlaps with Europe, and has limited overlap with the US East Coast.
Drag across the grid to compare working hours visually: Click Select if needed, then drag across the colored timeline on the Al Manzalah row to highlight a time range in purple. For example, if you drag from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Al Manzalah, you can immediately see that this is typically 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM in London during Egyptian summer time, 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM in New York, and 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Dubai, which helps confirm whether a morning meeting in Egypt is realistic for overseas teams.
Export the selected meeting window: After selecting a time range, use the export options for ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially useful for sending a confirmed meeting slot to a logistics partner, travel contact, or distributed team so everyone sees the appointment in their own local time without manual conversion errors.
About Al Manzalah Time Zone
Al Manzalah uses the Africa/Cairo IANA time zone, the standard time zone used across Egypt. Egypt’s standard UTC offset is UTC+2, and when daylight saving time is active, the offset changes to UTC+3. This means Al Manzalah follows the same national clock changes as Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said, and other Egyptian cities rather than having a separate local time rule.
Egypt currently observes daylight saving time, with clocks typically moving forward by one hour on the last Friday in April and moving back on the last Thursday in October. During the DST period, Al Manzalah is one hour ahead of its winter schedule, which affects call planning with Europe, North America, and Asia. For example, during summer, Al Manzalah matches Dubai less closely than in winter because Dubai remains fixed at UTC+4 year-round while Egypt shifts seasonally.
Al Manzalah is located in the Dakahlia Governorate in northeastern Egypt, near the Nile Delta and close to the wider coastal and canal-linked economic geography of the country. Its time zone sits west of Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates and east of North African countries that may remain on different DST schedules. That positioning makes Al Manzalah especially relevant for regional coordination involving Cairo, Mediterranean shipping routes, and business ties with Gulf markets.

Time Differences from Al Manzalah
Al Manzalah’s time difference with major world cities depends on whether Egypt and the other location are observing daylight saving time. In standard winter time, Al Manzalah is usually 7 hours ahead of New York, 2 hours ahead of London, 7 hours behind Tokyo, 9 hours behind Sydney, and 2 hours behind Dubai. During Egyptian summer time, some of these gaps change, especially with London and New York, because each region follows different DST calendars.
Here are practical examples using 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah:
- London: When it is 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah, it is often 7:00 AM in London in winter. During periods when both Egypt and the UK are on daylight saving time, the gap may narrow to 1 hour, making 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah = 8:00 AM in London.
- New York: When it is 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah, it is commonly 2:00 AM in New York in winter. Depending on DST dates in both countries, the difference can also be 6 hours, so checking the exact date matters before booking a call.
- Tokyo: When it is 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah, it is usually 4:00 PM in Tokyo during Egypt standard time and 3:00 PM in Tokyo during Egyptian daylight saving time, because Japan does not observe DST.
- Sydney: When it is 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah, it is often 6:00 PM in Sydney or 7:00 PM, depending on whether Australia is on daylight saving time and whether Egypt is on summer time. This is important for aviation, education, and remote support teams spanning MENA and Australia.
- Dubai: When it is 9:00 AM in Al Manzalah, it is usually 11:00 AM in Dubai during Egypt winter time and 10:00 AM in Dubai during Egypt summer time. Dubai stays on UTC+4 all year, so Egypt’s seasonal clock shift changes the gap.
For business scheduling, this means Al Manzalah has the easiest same-day overlap with Dubai and London, a moderate late-afternoon overlap with Tokyo, and a much harder overlap with New York unless the Egypt-based side is willing to meet in the late afternoon or evening.

What is the time difference between Al Manzalah and New York?
