I will be flying from New York to Egypt which is a 7 hour difference. I am not sure what sort of jet lag impact I should anticipate, and if it only occurs going one way or both. Thanks.

Jet lag doesn’t happen if you bring to a cow to mount while flying.
I think it happens bothe ways,,,the only way to beat it is to go out and do what the locals do when you arrive rather than sleep. Well thats what the experts say.
Once you get to Egypt, you’ll still be on New York time, and you’ll have jet lag according to that (say you take off at 5 p.m. and it’s a ten hour flight, it’ll feel like 3 a.m. New York time and not 10 a.m. Egypt time). Personally, I’ve never had jet lag coming back, because my brain automatically reset to its natural clock.
Yes, for after you get to you destination and get time acclimated, it will reverse
It depends on how long you plan on staying in Egypt
If you’ll be there for like a couple weeks or less you might experience a little jetlag,
but if you stay for a month or so and become accustomed to the sleeping patterns of Egypt then you most definitely will have jetlag
and everyone almost always has jetlag on the way b/c they’ve been living with the certain time for so long
