Alexandria: Alexandria is a major city in Egypt. Lying at the western edge of the Nile River Delta, it extends about 40 km (25 mi) along the country's northern coast. It is Egypt's principal seaport, the second largest city after Cairo, and the largest city on the Mediterranean coast. Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great, Alexandria is one of the largest and most important cities of antiquity and a leading hub for science, culture, and scholarship.
Egypt abolished DST in 2014, then reinstated seasonal clock changes in April 2023 after a nine-year pause.

Alexandria is listed in the dataset snapshot as 3 hours ahead of UTC (offset +03:00). 2 hours ahead of London, 6 hours behind Tokyo.
Geographically at longitude 29.92°, Alexandria's mean solar noon falls about 1 hour after civil 12:00 under the sampled +03:00 civil offset; during the alternate seasonal offset this shifts by about one hour on the clock — local sunrise and sunset run later on the clock than they would on true solar time.

Alexandria is Egypt's second-largest city and its principal Mediterranean seaport, with a population of roughly 5.3 million strung along the coast. Egypt observes Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) and reintroduced daylight saving in 2023, so Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+3) now applies from late April to late October. Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great, Alexandria was the capital of Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt and one of antiquity's greatest centres of learning, home to the legendary Library of Alexandria and the Lighthouse of Pharos, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. The modern port handles a large majority of Egypt's foreign trade, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, opened in 2002, commemorates the ancient library.
