Port Said was founded in 1859 specifically as the Mediterranean entrance to the Suez Canal, on a sandbar with no fresh water. Its lighthouse was the first large structure in the world built of reinforced concrete.
The clock: Port Said keeps UTC+2, and UTC+3 in summer. In normal years, around 12% of global trade passes through the canal it guards.
Port Said lies at 32.3°E. Its time zone, UTC+2, is built around the 30°E meridian. The 2.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 9 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:51 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 51 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:51.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 11m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 7m. The swing between them is 4h 4m. 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 Port Said the sun comes up earliest on 23 April at 05:15, while the latest sunset waits until 2 July at 19:59.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Port Said that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
