Time in Libya is given by a single time zone, officially denoted as Eastern European Time (EET; UTC+02:00).[1][2] The zone is also known as Central Africa Time (CAT). Libya has observed EET since 5 November 2012,[3] after it was announced in 2013 that Libya would be on permanent daylight saving time.[4][5] Libya previously observed several different time zones as standard time and daylight saving time. For residents of western Libya, including Tripoli, solar time is usually one hour behind standard time.
