Private Tripoli & Byblos Tour | Local Byblos Guide · From Beirut

Two of Lebanon's most historically rich cities — one private full day from Beirut. Tripoli in the morning: Lebanon's second city, with the finest collection of Mamluk architecture in the country, a 12th-century Crusader citadel, and one of the most authentic medieval souks in the Arab world. Byblos in the afternoon: one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, with a specialist local guide who knows its 7,000-year archaeological story from the inside. The combination works because the two cities represent entirely different chapters of Lebanese history — Tripoli's Crusader-to-Mamluk-to-Ottoman layering in the morning, Byblos's Phoenician-to-Roman-to-Crusader depth in the afternoon. A private vehicle and knowledgeable local driver are with you throughout. At Byblos, a specialist local guide joins the group — the difference between seeing ancient stones and understanding what they mean.
