Two of Lebanon's most characterful northern destinations — one private full day from Beirut. Tripoli is Lebanon's second city and the most undervisited major destination in the country — a medieval masterpiece where Crusader citadels, Mamluk mosques, stone-vaulted souks, and Ottoman caravanserais occupy the same square kilometre and where the finest collection of Mamluk architecture in Lebanon has been standing for seven centuries. Batroun is one of the oldest Phoenician cities in the world — a charming coastal town where a 3,000-year-old sea wall still stands on the beach and the pace of life is entirely unhurried.

Medieval history in the morning. Phoenician coast in the afternoon. Private vehicle and knowledgeable local driver throughout. Optional lunch stop at Hallab 1881 — Lebanon's most celebrated pastry and dining institution. Entrance tickets payable on site.
