Longest and shortest day in Alexandria
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 4 months ago, with 14h 10m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 2 months, with 10h 7m.
Between them the day length swings by 4h 3m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 3 December; the latest is 20:08 on 30 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 06:22 on 24 April to 07:13 on 29 October.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Alexandria different
Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.
Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 31.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 4h 3m here — among the widest of the 75 cities tracked in Egypt.
The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 55° round to WNW. Tonight, W.
Sunset drifts 3 minutes earlier each day this month — 93 minutes from the first of October to the last.
The clocks go back on 29 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:15 to 18:14 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Planning a sunset photo in Alexandria
Arrive by 17:47. Golden hour opens at 18:02 and the sun is down by 18:34, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 263° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
