Hi @AmitKu18 

The time zone setting defines the time zone used for displaying the data within the reports if you're creating a report suite for Egypt then you can select Cairo as a time zone so that timestamps in the reports will be presented according to Cairo time (e.g., 2 hours ahead of UTC). This will be helpful for the end users who will be consuming the reports from Egypt to relate to the timestamps.

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for your valuable reply.

I got the below time zone in Adobe analytics. Is this the correct one? It seems it is Calro not Cairo. Please have a look and let me know if this is the correct one?

@AmitKu18 Cairo has daylight savings time, Which starts on April 26th and Ends on Nov 1st. Right now it's time zone is GMT +3, after the DST ends on Nov 1st, it is GMT +2.

Hi Krishna,

Then in this case what should be the time zone to be used for adobe analytics report suite creation for Egypt?

Select the time zone by the city name Cairo, which is GMT +02:00
