A City Built Over a Greek One

Benghazi stands on the site of Euesperides, founded by Greeks around 525 BC and later abandoned when its lagoon silted up. Cyrene, nearby, was one of the great intellectual centres of the Greek world.

The clock: Benghazi keeps UTC+2. The Green Mountain behind it is the wettest part of Libya, receiving enough rain to support forest in a country that is over 90% desert.
