When to call
Egypt has one time zone, Eastern European Time (UTC+2), with summer time (UTC+3) from the last Friday of April to the last Thursday of October. The cards below show your time and the time in Cairo.
In 2026 clocks go back on 29 October, often on a different date from your country, so the time difference can shift by an hour for a few days.
Call quality
A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).
- Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
- Use headphones to avoid echo.
- Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
- Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
