Cairo is located at 30.04°N, 31.24°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Africa/Cairo timezone (GMT+2). It observes Daylight Saving Time, so sunrise and sunset times shift by one hour in spring and autumn.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Cairo this falls around 12:54 in mid-summer and 11:45 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
