What is the time difference between Tokyo and Cairo?

Tokyo (JST, UTC+9) is 7 hours ahead of Cairo in winter (UTC+2) and 6 hours ahead in summer when Egypt observes EEST (UTC+3). Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so the gap changes only when Egypt shifts.

Does Tokyo observe daylight saving time?

No. Japan permanently uses JST (UTC+9) year-round. There is no clock change in spring or autumn.

When does Egypt switch to summer time (EEST)?

Egypt observes EEST (UTC+3) from the last Friday of April to the last Thursday of October each year. Outside that window, Cairo is on EET (UTC+2).

If it is 9 AM in Tokyo, what time is it in Cairo?

In winter (EET, UTC+2) that is 2:00 AM Cairo time. In summer (EEST, UTC+3) it is 3:00 AM Cairo time.

When do Tokyo and Cairo share reasonable working hours?

Tokyo business hours (9 AM–6 PM JST) map to 2 AM–11 AM in Cairo (winter) or 3 AM–noon (summer). There is about a 3-hour overlap in Cairo's morning, roughly 9–11 AM Cairo time.
