The country's authorities are trying to reduce <strong>electricity consumption<\/strong> amid rising fuel prices. Additional measures include lighting restrictions and a possible switch to remote work.<\/p>\n<h2>New rules for shops and cafes<\/h2>\n<p>Starting from 28 March, shops, shopping centres and cafes in Egypt will have to close at 21:00 five days a week. On weekends, establishments will be open until 22:00.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, most shops and restaurants in the country were open until late at night. The new restrictions will be in place for at least a month and may be reviewed depending on the situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional cost-saving measures<\/h2>\n<p>The authorities also plan to switch off illuminated billboards and <strong>reduce lighting<\/strong> on the streets to the minimum safe level.
