Tripoli is Lebanon's most underrated city — a medieval masterpiece of Mamluk architecture, living souks, and Crusader history that rewards every visitor who makes the effort to explore it properly. This guided small-group tour pairs it with Batroun, one of the oldest Phoenician coastal towns on the Mediterranean, for a full day in Lebanon's magnificent north with lunch and all entrance tickets included.
A professional guide leads you through the citadel ramparts, two remarkable mosques where Gothic and Islamic architecture meet in the same stonework, an hour in one of the most authentic medieval markets in the Arab world, and a traditional olive oil soap factory. Lunch is at Hallab 1881 — Lebanon's most celebrated dining institution, founded in 1881. The afternoon brings Batroun's charming old town, a 3,000-year-old Phoenician sea wall still standing on the beach, and a refreshing stop at the legendary Hilmi's House of Lemonade.
