# From Ahmad El-Dardiry (2014-05-07):

# Egypt is to change back to Daylight system on May 15

# http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/100735/Egypt/Politics-/Egypts-government-to-reapply-daylight-saving-time-.aspx

# From Gunther Vermier (2015-05-13):

# our Egypt office confirms that the change will be at 15 May "midnight" (24:00)

# From Imed Chihi (2014-06-04):

# We have finally "located" a precise official reference about the DST changes

# in Egypt. The Ministers Cabinet decision is explained at

# http://www.cabinet.gov.eg/Media/CabinetMeetingsDetails.aspx?id=347 ...

# [T]his (Arabic) site is not accessible outside Egypt, but the page ...

# translates into: "With regard to daylight saving time, it is scheduled to

# take effect at exactly twelve o'clock this evening, Thursday, 15 MAY 2014,

# to be suspended by twelve o'clock on the evening of Thursday, 26 JUN 2014,

# and re-established again at the end of the month of Ramadan, at twelve

# o'clock on the evening of Thursday, 31 JUL 2014." This statement has been

# reproduced by other (more accessible) sites[, e.g.,]...

# http://elgornal.net/news/news.aspx?id=4699258

# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-04):

# Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath of AP report that the Egyptian government says

# the change is because of blackouts in Cairo, even though Ahram Online (cited

# above) says DST had no affect on electricity consumption. There is

# no information about when DST will end this fall. See:

# http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/el-sissi-pushes-egyptians-line-23614833

#

# For now, guess that later spring and fall transitions will use

# 2010's rules, and guess that Egypt will switch to standard time at

# 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and back to DST at 00:00 the

# first Friday after Ramadan. To implement this,

# transition dates for 2015 through 2037 were determined by running

# the following program under GNU Emacs 24.3, with the results integrated

# by hand into the table below. Ramadan again intrudes on the guessed

# DST starting in 2038, but that's beyond our somewhat-arbitrary cutoff.

# (let ((islamic-year 1436))

# (while (< islamic-year 1460)

# (let ((a (calendar-islamic-to-absolute (list 9 1 islamic-year)))

# (b (calendar-islamic-to-absolute (list 10 1 islamic-year)))

# (friday 5))

# (while (/= friday (mod a 7))

# (setq a (1- a)))

# (while (/= friday (mod b 7))

# (setq b (1+ b)))

# (setq a (1- a))

# (setq b (1- b))

# (setq a (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute a))

# (setq b (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute b))

# "Rule\tEgypt\t%d\tonly\t-\t%s\t%2d\t24:00\t1:00\tS\n")

# (car (cdr (cdr a))) (calendar-month-name (car a) t) (car (cdr a))

# (car (cdr (cdr b))) (calendar-month-name (car b) t) (car (cdr b)))))

# (setq islamic-year (+ 1 islamic-year))))

# Troll, Queen Maud Land, -720041+0023206, since 2005-02-12

#

# From Paul-Inge Flakstad (2014-03-10):

# I recently had a long dialog about this with the developer of timegenie.com.

# In the absence of specific dates, he decided to choose some likely ones:

# GMT +1 - From March 1 to the last Sunday in March

# GMT +2 - From the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October

# GMT +1 - From the last Sunday in October until November 7

# GMT +0 - From November 7 until March 1

# The dates for switching to and from UTC+0 will probably not be absolutely

# correct, but they should be quite close to the actual dates.

#

# From Paul Eggert (2014-03-21):

# The CET-switching Troll rules require zic from tzcode 2014b or later, so as

# suggested by Bengt-Inge Larsson comment them out for now, and approximate

# with only UTC and CEST. Uncomment them when 2014b is more prevalent.
