Engineer Ehab Said, a board member of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce and head of its Communications Division, confirmed that the decision to extend closing times for shops, restaurants, and cafes until 11 PM will have direct positive impacts on citizens' lives and economic activity. This comes at a time when the market really needs more flexibility. Ehab Said explained that this decision gives people more time to shop and take care of their daily needs without being rushed by limited hours. This helps reduce crowding in markets during peak times, making the consumer experience better and shopping much easier and more comfortable. He also pointed out that allowing longer operating hours for businesses clearly boosts buying and selling activity. It spreads out consumer demand throughout the day instead of concentrating it into short periods. This, in turn, leads to more people visiting markets and helps support stable commercial activity.
