Been looking and I cannot find anything official, just a couple of translated articles and none of them have anything about next year or beyond. And to be honest, i kind of doubt that the egyptian government has thought more than 1-2 years ahead, if that much. On Jun 15, 2016 8:24 PM, "Paul Eggert" <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:

the current story from Egypt's government is that they will not be implementing DST until the end of Ramadan going forward.
Thanks, do you have a citation for that? For 2017-2019 this story would make sense (and is a change to our current prediction for those years), as it would eliminate a short, confusing period of DST from the last Thursday in April at 24:00 until just before Ramadan starts in May.
For the years 2036 on, though, the story would not make sense, as it would mean no DST for most of the summer, and then a short period of DST just before DST ends the last Thursday in October at 24:00. Presumably the Egyptian government has not thought that far ahead.
