Tripoli is the capital of Libya, with a population of about 1,302,947. It uses the Eastern European Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Tripoli).
Tripoli does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+2 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Lubumbashi, Lusaka, Pretoria.
Because Tripoli lies at 32.89° N, 13.19° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 19 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 59 min.
