On 2010-07-20 20:03, Arthur David Olson proposed the rule:

+ Rule Egypt 2010 only - Sep 9 0:00s 1:00 S

I had the impression that the quoted sources indicate the switch one day later, on a Friday:

+ Rule Egypt 2010 only - Sep 10 0:00s 1:00 S

At least Bairam only begins at 2010-09-09.75 in Egypt. Regards Michael Deckers.
