SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Kuwait City to Cairo. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Kuwait City and Cairo lies at approximately 29.9750°N, 39.6346°E — the position that is an equal 809 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, Cairo (Africa/Cairo) is 1 hour behind or on the same time as Kuwait City (Asia/Kuwait), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
