I was told that if the clocks were put forward here, it would mean a longer fast and not enough time between the opening and then closing of the next fast.

Thats why decision was made not to put clocks forward.

Thats what I have been told by a few locals, but who knows eh?!

Lee,

Undutchable and I agree, we were planning our longer sessions at Mojito Beach but summer time will only be for 3 months or so!

Well as you all know how punctual Egyptians are will the time change really make any difference???

Yeah last year the clocks changed in Egypt at the start of Ramadan as well.

Well, as if things weren't confusing enough, people on the Blue side (actually by emails and PM's) are saying time change is tonight. They said "It is always Thursday night"!

Go figure.

Best to all,
Scott

Well now, my computer clock has automatically shifted forward 1 hour this morning so I guess it is official!
