Cairo is 5 hours behind Hong Kong

Best overlap: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Hong Kong is 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Cairo.

The hours that work for both Hong Kong and Cairo are 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM (Hong Kong) and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM (Cairo). Roughly 5 hours of shared hours means scheduling takes a little care — 1:00 PM in Hong Kong / 8:00 AM in Cairo is a safe default. One seasonal catch: Cairo springs forward and falls back, but Hong Kong doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
