About Benghazi and its timings
Benghazi is Libya's second city and the capital of Cyrenaica, on the Gulf of Sirte where the coast meets the Green Mountain plateau to the east. It has a long history of maritime trade, and the Old Mosque at its heart is among its oldest religious landmarks. The large time gap from Tripoli gives it a clearly different timetable even within one country.
Benghazi lies about six hundred kilometres east of Tripoli on the same clock, so every prayer there comes roughly a quarter of an hour earlier.
