About this experience
What to expect
Most visitors to Lebanon never make it to Tripoli. That is their loss — and your opportunity. Lebanon's second city is one of the most authentically preserved medieval cities in the Arab world, and on this private full-day tour from Beirut, you will experience a side of Lebanon that package tours simply do not reach. A 12th-century Crusader citadel. Two of the finest Mamluk mosques in the Levant — one built on the foundations of a Crusader cathedral, its original Gothic portal still visible in the stonework. A living medieval souk unchanged for centuries. An unfinished Oscar Niemeyer masterpiece — one of the most architecturally significant modernist buildings in the Middle East. And Hallab 1881 — the legendary Tripoli pastry institution that has been making Lebanese sweets since the Ottoman era, where a tasting stop is not optional but essential. The day ends at El Mina, Tripoli's ancient fishing port, where the pace of life slows to something entirely unhurried.
