Misratah is Libya’s third-largest city and home to one of Africa’s largest steel plants, sitting on the Mediterranean coast about 200 kilometers east of Tripoli. It runs on Eastern European Time, UTC+2, year-round. Libya has kept this fixed offset since 2013, when it stopped observing daylight saving time.

Libya’s timezone history is complicated. The country moved between UTC+1 and UTC+2 multiple times across the twentieth century, with DST observed on and off. The Gaddafi government changed the offset, then changed it back. After 2011 and the civil war, Libya settled on permanent UTC+2.

siege, steel, and a fixed UTC+2

Misratah was one of the most contested cities in the 2011 Libyan civil war, withstanding a three-month siege. The port and steel plant were both heavily damaged. The civil clock kept running through the siege, if not exactly keeping normal time in the way people structure their days around work and rest.

The Mediterranean coast at 32 degrees north gives Misratah relatively stable daylight: about 10 hours in December, 14 hours in June.

9am in Misratah is 7am in London during European winter.
