What to expect
Tripoli
Tripoli: Forty-five buildings in the city, many dating from the 14th century, have been registered as historical sites. The souks, together with the “khans”, form an agglomeration of various trades where tailors, jewelers, perfumers, tanners and soap-makers work in surroundings that have changed very little over the last 500 years.
Byblos: A thriving modern town with an ancient heart, Byblos is a mix of sophistication and tradition. The old harbor is sheltered from the sea by a rocky headland. Nearby are the excavated remains of the ancient city, the Crusader castle and church and the old market area.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
