Open Meeting Planner →Shanghai's finance and manufacturing and Cairo's government and construction are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. The gap is 5 hours, with Shanghai the one whose clock reads later.
Shanghai works Monday to Friday and Cairo Sunday to Thursday, which leaves only three or four shared working days a week. On the Shanghai side the dates that break a schedule are Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October); on the Cairo side, Eid al-Fitr (end of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (roughly 70 days later).
The comfortable window is 14:00–17:00 Shanghai time, which is 09:00–12:00 in Cairo — 3 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Only Cairo changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Shanghai stays put.
Shanghai is 5 hours ahead of Cairo. The gap changes by an hour around the clock changes.
