<p>Several Egyptian news websites this morning are reporting additional information about a draft resolution, including the technical details of dates and times. It aligns with our current expectations.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>One example:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.almasdar.com/47655" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk880942">http://www.almasdar.com/47655</a><br>
<br>
</p>
<p>I have not yet found the draft resolution that is described in the article. I hope that it will appear in the official gazette or on the legislative site soon.</p>

<p>None that I have heard. The legislative site I listed below still shows nothing.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The only bit of news I've found is that someone has brought a lawsuit to challenge the decision.</p>

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

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 class="">
