About Tripoli time
Tripoli keeps one clock.
Tripoli keeps consistent hours in Libya’s busy Mediterranean hub: workdays stick to steady EET (UTC+2) all year round, but most of Europe changes its clocks, so Tripoli is one hour ahead of Paris and Berlin in winter and on the same time in summer.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Tripoli's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- What time zone is Tripoli in?
- Tripoli uses Eastern European Time (EET), which is UTC+2 all year. Libya has not observed daylight saving time since 2013.
- What should I know about planning meetings with partners in Libya?
- Libya doesn't change its clocks, but most of its partners do: Tripoli is one hour ahead of Central Europe in winter and on the same time in summer, and 7 hours ahead of New York in winter and 6 hours in summer. Recheck recurring meetings when Europe or the US changes clocks.
- Is Tripoli on the same time as Cairo?
- In winter, yes: both are on UTC+02:00. From late April to late October Egypt uses summer time (UTC+03:00), so Cairo is then one hour ahead of Tripoli.
- Has Libya’s time zone changed recently?
- Yes, more than once. Libya moved from UTC+02:00 to UTC+01:00 in November 2012 and used summer time in 2013, then returned to UTC+02:00 in October 2013 and has stayed there since.
