Beirut: Beirut is the capital and largest city of Lebanon. As of 2025, Greater Beirut has a population of 2.4 million, just under half of Lebanon's population, which makes it the twelfth-largest city in the Levant region and the sixteenth-largest in the Arab world. The city is situated on a peninsula at the midpoint of Lebanon's Mediterranean coast. Beirut has been inhabited for more than 5,000 years, making it one of the oldest cities in the world.
Lebanon famously delayed its 2023 spring-forward by a month, leading to a temporary split in civil time across the country.

Observes daylight saving time. Civil clocks shift forward by one hour during the local summer, swinging between standard UTC+02:00 and summer UTC+03:00. Transitions follow the IANA zone Asia/Beirut.
Beirut is listed in the dataset snapshot as 3 hours ahead of UTC (offset +03:00). 2 hours ahead of London, 6 hours behind Tokyo.
Geographically at longitude 35.50°, Beirut's mean solar noon falls about 38 minutes after civil 12:00 under the sampled +03:00 civil offset; during the alternate seasonal offset this shifts by about one hour on the clock — local sunrise and sunset run later on the clock than they would on true solar time.
Computed from the city coordinates using the NOAA solar position model across 2026. These values are mechanical and identical for every year-relative render, so two cities at different latitudes always produce distinct numbers.
