Egypt Suspends Daylight Savings Time For Ramadan

NPR reports that the Egyptian government is suspending daylight savings time beginning today for the month of Ramadan.  When Ramadan is over, daylight savings time will be reinstituted.  The government's action allows Muslims to break the Ramadan fast an hour earlier than otherwise-- though it begins an hour earlier the evening before. Apparently Egypt is the only country creating a special Ramadan time zone.
