Aktuelle Uhrzeit in Qifţ, Ägypten — EEST.

Qift is a city in the Qena Governorate of Egypt about 43 km (27 mi) north of Luxor, situated a little south of latitude 26° north, on the east bank of the Nile. In ancient times its proximity to the Red Sea made it an important trading emporium between India, Punt, Arabia Felix and the North. It was important for nearby gold and quartzite mines in the Eastern Desert, and as a starting point for expeditions to Punt by way of the path through the Wadi Hammamat to the Red Sea port at Tjau.

Reading Qifţ against the global hubs: Dubai (~2,250 km), London (~3,965 km), Singapore (~8,047 km) are the close ones, with Sydney (~14,100 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
