Clock rules in Giza
Giza keeps EET (UTC+2) in winter and EEST (UTC+3) in summer, the time of all of Egypt.
The weekend in Egypt is Friday and Saturday, so the working week runs Sunday to Thursday (CLDR, the locale data phones and computers use): plan calls with a Monday-to-Friday office around it.
Local mean solar time at 31.21° E is UTC+2:05, so standard time runs 5 min behind the sun: it is highest at about 11:55 AM (an hour later in summer).
The zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the Africa/Cairo page.
