Time Difference Between Cairo and Los Angeles

How far apart are Cairo and Los Angeles?

Los Angeles (United States) runs 10 hours behind Cairo (Egypt). In practical terms, the working day in Los Angeles starts while Cairo is already well into the afternoon or evening, which is what makes scheduling between the two take a little planning.

Best time to schedule a call or meeting

Standard working hours in Cairo and Los Angeles barely overlap, so a live call usually means one side joining early in the morning or late in the evening. The least disruptive option is to catch the very start or end of one city’s working day, or to handle things asynchronously.

A note on daylight saving

The difference shown here reflects the current offset between Cairo and Los Angeles. Because regions switch to and from daylight saving on different dates — and some do not observe it at all — the gap can move by an hour for a few weeks each spring and autumn. If you are booking something months ahead, it is worth re-checking close to the date.
