About Benghazi
Benghazi sits on EET (UTC+2), six hours ahead of New York at the moment and seven hours each winter. Libya scrapped DST back in 2013, so the local clock stays put while New York moves twice a year. When it's noon in New York, Benghazi already shows 6 PM. The official work week runs Sunday to Thursday, with most offices active 09:00–14:30. Best time to dial from the US East Coast is early morning, before 8 AM.
