Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:54 on 2 December; the latest is 20:00 on 1 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:19 on 24 April to 07:06 on 29 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Giza different

It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.

The shallow approach angle at 30° stretches this evening's golden hour to 47 minutes, against about 40 for a city on the equator today.

Between solstices the sunset walks 55° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Sunset drifts 3 minutes earlier each day this month — 92 minutes from the first of October to the last.

Expect a one-off hour-long step in these times on 29 October 2026: sunset goes from 18:11 the evening before to 18:10 that evening.

Planning a sunset photo in Giza

Arrive by 17:43. Golden hour opens at 17:58 and the sun is down by 18:30, 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.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:44 and runs to 18:54, the end of civil twilight and 23m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
