Longest and shortest day in Alexandria

The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 3 months ago, with 14h 10m of daylight.

The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 3 months, with 10h 7m.

Between them the day length swings by 4h 3m.

Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night Clock change

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:57 on 3 December; the latest is 20:08 on 30 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 06:22 on 24 April to 07:13 on 29 October.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Alexandria different

Sunset here is followed by about 24 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 47 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 31.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between the June and December solstices the length of the day swings by 4h 3m here — among the widest of the 75 cities tracked in Egypt.

The sun does not set in the same place twice: the December solstice puts it WSW, June swings it 55° round to WNW. Tonight, W.

Sunset drifts 77 seconds earlier each day this month — 37 minutes from the first of September to the last.

The clocks go back on 29 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:15 to 18:14 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.

Planning a sunset photo in Alexandria

Arrive by 18:05. Golden hour opens at 18:20 and the sun is down by 18:52, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 269° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:06 and runs to 19:16, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
