Tanta keeps two clocks.
In Tanta, Egypt's daily business rhythm fits neatly into the Cairo time zone, where the stretch of evening daylight is long during years' summers because clocks push forward for daylight saving. This shift nudges work and social life later into the bright hours, a pattern familiar across the country.
