Arabic term or phrase: جزيرة قصر الشعب
Hi everyone,

This is from a Libyan text.

I know that قصر الشعب is the Royal Palace of Tripoli, but what is the island referring to here? It's not on an island.

Does anyone know?

توقِف الحافلة كل مرة في جزيرة قصر الشعب، لتنزل بهدوء.

Thank you!

English translation:The direction to the Royal Palace
Explanation:
The direction to the Royal Palace

من معاني كلمة "جزيرة " في اللغة العربية أنها الجزء الفاصل بين إتجاهين، بالإضافة إلى المعنى العام باعتبارها أرض تحيط بها المياه من جميع الجهات

المقصود هو أن الحافلة قد توقفت في أتجاه الطريق المؤدي إلى قصر الشعب
