Two of Lebanon's most charming and most rewarding northern destinations — one comfortable full day from Beirut. This private tour combines the medieval grandeur of Tripoli with the relaxed coastal beauty of Batroun, giving you a wonderfully varied day that the whole family will enjoy from start to finish.
In Tripoli — Lebanon's fascinating second city — you will explore a commanding Crusader citadel, two magnificent Mamluk mosques, one of the most authentic medieval souks in the Arab world, a soap factory, and the legendary Hallab 1881 pastry institution. Then drive south along the Mediterranean coast to Batroun — one of the oldest Phoenician cities in the world and one of Lebanon's most beloved coastal towns — for a stroll along its charming old town, a visit to the remarkable 3,000-year-old Phoenician sea wall, and a refreshing stop at Hilmi's House of Lemonade, Batroun's most famous and most refreshing local institution. History in the morning, coastal relaxation in the afternoon.

Excellent tour guide, ensured we were shown the hidden Lebanon as well as the itinerary, even managed to open doors where these were closed for the holiday.
