There is this thing, called time zones. They make it a different time somewhere else in the world.
4 :

It is much cooler during the night and in the day it is BOILING hot. The coolness is much easier to PARTY WITH : )
6 :
if its 3 oclock where you are at then its because of time zone changes, but if you already did the calculations then who knows everyone is different, me and my roomies all have different sleep patters

My ex-boyfriend is from Egypt. He told me that everything is open 24 hours a day. Maybe the is weather is cooler at night too. Sounds kind of fun. Never been there though.

this is a habit in the East bec nights are more beautiful than days. we stay up late , go to our work the next day , but have a nap in the afternoon . this nap is necessary for us to survive !
9 :
That is quite a blanket statement to make. I doubt that every person that lives in Egypt stays up late. It is probably like it is here. Some people turn in early others turn in late.

Well when I was in egypt i noticed the same thing. I would sleep in the morning and wake up at night and do that over and over. Also its cooler at night. Time zones are another thing they are like 6 to 7 hours ahead of us. Egypt is awesome. Im jealous of the people on here who live there.

It wasn't 3 am her time it was 3 am in EGYPT YES, you are right. Many Egyptians stay up late. And yes, they do work the next day. But the work day in Egypt is not like the States. They don't start working at 7 or 8 am. Some places don't start work until 10 am. If someone owns a shop he might not open it untill 11 or 12 bcause it will stay open till late at night (usually 11 pm). So the majority of Egypt just runs on a different time frame and not the 9 am to 5 pm like in the States. Also in Egypt it is common for your phone to ring at any time of the night 11 pm - 3 am. In the States people consider it rude to call someone after 10 pm. But not here. I have had my phone ring at 3 am. I started having to put my phone on silent when I went to bed.
15 :
it is an old tradition,,,,,also the weather is so hot morning,,most works finish at 3 pm so thy have long time,,,,but peoples who works two times day and after noon ,obliged to sleep early
16 :
It's a good question even if I don't have a real clear answer. The hot weather, may be The crowded streets and crowded life that makes anything takes too long to be done, may be. The different timing for jobs and working hours, may be. The mentality of mixing working days and week ends, may be. May be we have all of these reasons together with other reasons.
17 :
bcz it's vacation time here :)
18 :
yeah its seen as normal, because its cooler then, shops are open late, friends hang out together late at night after finishing whatever they have to do in the day, so they catch up, & yes its defintely true that the phone does not stop ringing ! lol
