Private Tripoli Day Trip from Beirut | Medieval City Tour

Tripoli is one of Lebanon's most rewarding and most undervisited destinations — and this private day trip from Beirut is the perfect way to discover it. Lebanon's second city is home to one of the finest collections of Mamluk architecture in the Arab world, a beautifully authentic medieval souk that has been trading for centuries, and a charming fishing port that brings the day to a wonderfully relaxed close. Your knowledgeable driver takes you comfortably through the city's highlights — a commanding Crusader citadel with panoramic views over Tripoli's rooftops, two remarkable mosques that incorporate Crusader stonework into their Mamluk architecture, a lively traditional souk, a historic soap factory, and an optional lunch stop at Hallab 1881 — the most celebrated pastry and dining institution in Lebanon, founded during the Ottoman era and beloved by generations of Tripolitans. A wonderfully rich and genuinely accessible day out for the whole family.
