Egypt orders shops and restaurants to close by 21:00
Change
Egypt ordered shops, restaurants and cafes to close by 21:00 each night for one month starting Saturday.
Why it matters
The package also mandates dimmed street lighting and roadside advertising and requires many employees to return to home working one day per week in April, creating operational limits for municipal services, advertisers and employers. Hotels and tourist attractions are exempt, concentrating the impact on urban retail and dining sectors.
Implications
- • Retail and restaurant managers must revise opening hours, staffing and inventory to end service by 21:00 for one month.
- • Municipal lighting and advertising authorities must reduce public lighting and billboard brightness immediately.
