Egyptian Parliament today just decided to cancel DST Thanks for the heads-up. As I understand it, the bill is not yet law and would have to pass through more legislative hoops to become law. In that sense it is like a similar effort to abolish DST in California, which has also passed a committee vote <http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article83558137...>. That being said, the Egyptian movement to abolish DST seems more likely to succeed than the Californian one. We should definitely keep an eye on Egypt, as it's quite possible that I jumped the gun in assuming that the planned change on July 7 at 24:00 will actually happen.
