Egypt: War in Iran Disrupts Nightlife in Cairo

The war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has led to rising energy costs, changing the nighttime landscape of Cairo. Since early April, businesses are required to close earlier, at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 PM on weekends, directly impacting sales, especially for merchants reliant on nighttime customers. Mohamed Mahmud, a shoe store manager, reported a 60% drop in sales due to these new restrictions.
