Al Qanţarah sits at 30.86°N, 32.31°E; that's the subtropics (Northern Hemisphere, ~3425 km from the equator) and the daylight pattern reflects warmer-half daylight that stretches noticeably in summer.
Today the sun rises around 06:09 AM and sets around 07:27 PM in Al Qanţarah — about 13h 18m of daylight. Égypte observes daylight saving time on this zone, so the offset shifts seasonally.

El Qantara is a northeastern Egyptian city on both sides of the Suez Canal, in the Egyptian governorate of Ismailia, 160 kilometres (99 mi) northeast of Cairo and 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of Port Said. The two parts of the city are connected by a high-level fixed road bridge, the Mubarak Peace Bridge. The bridge makes a connection between the division of Africa, and Asia, making El Qantara a border town.
Reading Al Qanţarah against the global hubs: Dubai (~2,335 km), London (~3,506 km), Singapore (~8,171 km) are the close ones, with Sydney (~14,352 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
Al Qanţarah sits inside Égypte — the Northern Africa subregion, capital Cairo, languages Arabic, currency EGP (£).
The closest mapped neighbors of Al Qanţarah are Munsha‘at Abū ‘Umar (28 km), Ismailia (28 km), Abu Suweir-el-Mahatta (37 km), Al Ḩusaynīyah (38 km), so commuter, logistics and same-day-trip planning will usually pull from this cluster.
Upcoming country holiday signals around Al Qanţarah: Labour Day, June 30 Revolution, Revolution Day. Bake those into launch, on-call, and travel windows for Égypte.
Closest curated airport references from Al Qanţarah: CAI Cairo (121 km), SPX Al Jiza (159 km), HBE Alexandria (250 km).
Egypt’s recent DST re-introduction is exactly the kind of policy change that makes a local time page more valuable when it explains the story.
