Egypt to Join Earth Hour 2025 in Global Light Switch Off
Egypt will be one of over 180 countries and regions worldwide to participate in Earth Hour’s one hour lights switch-off
This Saturday, several of Egypt’s iconic landmarks will go dark for Earth Hour 2025. From 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM on March 22nd, landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Cairo Tower, and Alexandria’s Qaitbay Citadel will join over 180 countries in switching off non-essential lights to support the planet.
This year’s theme, "Together for the Biggest Hour for the Earth," encourages us all to rethink our energy consumption, adopt greener habits, and recognize the urgent need for climate action.
Egypt has been part of Earth Hour since 2008, standing alongside 88 other countries and thousands of cities worldwide. It’s the world’s longest-running environmental campaign, always held on the last Saturday of March, coinciding with the vernal equinox, when day and night are perfectly balanced. This allows millions of people to participate in a synchronized global moment of action.
With over 3.5 billion people participating in past years, Earth Hour 2025 is set to be the biggest one yet. Will you be joining? Let us know in the comments!
