Worked example for Cairo

If both offices work 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Cairo and London share 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Cairo on 10 November 2026, when Cairo is 2 hours ahead of London. On 13 July 2027 Cairo is 2 hours ahead of London, so the shared window becomes 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Cairo.

On 21 December 2026 the sun rises in Cairo at about 6:46 AM and sets at 4:59 PM (10 h 12 min of daylight). On 21 June 2027 it rises at 5:53 AM and sets at 7:58 PM (14 h 5 min). Because Cairo lies about 5 minutes east of the meridian its clock is based on, solar noon falls before 12:00 by that much, before the equation of time is added.
