EEST and NPT on the World Map
The map below highlights the EEST (Eastern European Time) and NPT (Nepal Time) timezone regions across the globe.
EET – Eastern European Time
UTC+02:00Eastern European Time (EET) is used in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and northeastern Africa, 2 hours ahead of UTC.
- •EET covers countries across three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa.
- •Cairo is the most populous city in the EET zone.
- •Turkey used to be on EET but permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016.
- •Finland, the Baltic states, and Greece all use EET.

- •Nepal Time is UTC+05:45 — a 45-minute offset, not a whole or half hour.
- •The 45-minute offset was adopted in 1986 to match Kathmandu's solar time.

About Kathmandu
WikipediaKathmandu operates on Nepal Time (NPT), one of the world's unique UTC+5:45 timezones. This 15-minute offset from India makes Nepal time distinctive for global coordination.
Nepal Time (NPT) is one of only three timezones offset by 45 minutes (UTC+5:45).
Understanding the +2h 45m Gap: Egypt vs Kathmandu
Egypt runs on Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) at UTC+03:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Kathmandu runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. That puts Egypt 2 hours 45 minutes ahead of Kathmandu — a difference of +2h 45m at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Egypt it is 11:45 AM in Kathmandu. Midnight in Egypt is 2:45 AM in Kathmandu.Egypt observes daylight saving time while Kathmandu does not, so the gap narrows or widens by an hour part of the year.

Why people convert Egypt to Kathmandu time
- Scheduling a call from Egypt to Kathmandu: a 10:00 AM start in Egypt lands at 12:45 PM in Kathmandu, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Egypt and Kathmandu are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:15 PM EEST time (11:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT). That is roughly 5 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Egypt is 10:45 PM in Kathmandu makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +2h 45m gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–2:15 PM EEST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Egypt and need Kathmandu colleagues present.
- Egypt: Clocks fall back on Thu, Oct 29, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +2h 45m gap.
About EET (Eastern European Time)
Eastern European Time (EET) covers a wide geographical area including Eastern Europe (Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine), the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Jordan), and northeastern Africa (Egypt, Libya). During summer, most EET countries switch to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+03:00). Turkey permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016, effectively leaving EET.
About NPT (Nepal Time)
Nepal Time (NPT) runs at UTC+05:45, one of only a handful of time zones worldwide that are not a whole or half hour from UTC. Nepal set its offset to 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC in 1986 to mark the country's position between the 75°E and 90°E meridians; Kathmandu's solar time sits just over 5 hours 41 minutes ahead of Greenwich, so the 45-minute offset tracks the sun more closely than either 5:30 or 6:00 would. Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so NPT is fixed all year. The offset makes Nepal 15 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (UTC+05:30) and 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Dubai (UTC+04:00).
Best time to call between Egypt and Kathmandu
Both Egypt and Kathmandu sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–2:15 PM EEST, which is 11:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT. That gives roughly 5 hours and 15 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
Egypt and Kathmandu share 5 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–2:15 PM EEST), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
Egypt is 2 hours 45 minutes ahead of Kathmandu (EEST UTC+03:00 → NPT UTC+05:45). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–2:15 PM EEST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
