Abu Simbel was cut into about 1,036 blocks and reassembled 65 metres higher and 200 metres back in 1968, to save it from the reservoir behind the Aswan High Dam. The sun still reaches the inner sanctuary twice a year — a day later than before the move.
The clock: Aswan keeps UTC+2, and UTC+3 in summer. The city sits just north of the Tropic of Cancer — close enough that Eratosthenes used its noon sun to measure the Earth.
Aswan lies at 32.9°E. Its time zone, UTC+2, is built around the 30°E meridian. The 2.9° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 12 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:48 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 48 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:48.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 38m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 39m. The swing between them is 2h 59m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Aswan the sun comes up earliest on 23 April at 05:21, while the latest sunset waits until 5 July at 19:40. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Aswan that civil twilight runs about 23 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
