IANA Timezone: Africa/Cairo
Solar time: clocks run about 1h ahead of the sun
Timezone: EEST
Daylight Saving Time: Yes ✅ (Abbreviation: EEST) (When does Daylight Savings Time end?)
Standard Timezone Abbreviations used in Egypt: EET
Daylight Saving Timezone Abbreviations used in Egypt: EEST
Rosetta sits in the Africa/Cairo time zone, UTC+02:00. The clocks are currently shifted forward for daylight saving time. Today gives roughly 12 hours of daylight, near the midpoint of the year. Rosetta sits far enough from the equator to feel a clear, if moderate, change of seasons. At about 15 m, Rosetta is practically at sea level. The nearest big city, Dubai, is a distant 2522 km away. Modest in size, Rosetta still needs an exact local time for planning across borders.
Rosetta gets 12h 04m of daylight today, with sunrise at 06:47 and sunset at 18:52.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rosetta
What time is it in Rosetta right now?
The current local time in Rosetta is 07:01 on Thursday, September 24, 2026. Rosetta follows the Africa/Cairo time zone.
What time zone is Rosetta in?
Rosetta runs on the Africa/Cairo IANA time zone (UTC+03:00), the same zone used across the surrounding region, with the clocks shifting automatically whenever daylight saving is in force.
How many hours ahead or behind UTC is Rosetta?
Is Rosetta on daylight saving time right now?
Yes — Rosetta is currently observing daylight saving time as of September 24, 2026.
What time is sunrise and sunset in Rosetta today?
Today in Rosetta: sunrise is at 06:47 and sunset is at 18:52, giving 12h 04m of daylight.
What moon phase is visible over Rosetta tonight?
Over Rosetta tonight the moon shows a Waxing Gibbous phase at 93.0% illumination.
What is solar time in Rosetta?
Solar time follows the Sun's actual position, with solar noon when the Sun is highest in the sky. In Rosetta, clocks run about 1h ahead of local solar time, because the official time zone does not exactly match the Sun's position.
