Egypt has instituted a business curfew starting at 9:00 PM on Saturdays, affecting shops, restaurants, and shopping malls. This decision is a direct response to the doubling of energy prices, attributed to ongoing geopolitical tensions.
The curfew is intended to cushion the financial strain on businesses and consumers alike, as the country grapples with the implications of rising fuel costs on its economy.
This measure reflects a broader trend in infrastructure management, where operational hours are adjusted to align with economic realities and energy availability.
