The Egyptian Parliament has approved the government’s decision to restore daylight savings time on April 21st until the end of the last Thursday of October of each year. Hence, residents of Egypt will move their clocks one hour forward after the holy month of Ramadan. Egypt used to use the daylight-saving time system in the summer back in the time of the old regime, but it was canceled in 2011. However, in 2014, the government reinstated the practice of advancing clocks by one hour again until it was abolished in 2016. This comes at a time when people are debating over the economic benefits of daylight-saving time.
