several sources that all say Egypt will have DST from July 7 until the end of October.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, &quot;end of October&quot; is very vague, but we at <a href="http://timeanddate.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">timeanddate.com</a> would assume a rule like this for it, based on their historic end dates:<br>
Rule    Egypt    2016    max    -    Oct    lastThu    23:00s 0    -<br>
We also assume it will start at the end of July 7 (midnight between Thursday and Friday).<br>

I found it interesting that EgyptAir seems to have assumed DST to start in April (like it previously did in 2010), and therefore this obviously causes problems with the schedules:<br>
