Your Ultimate Guide To Tripoli

If you haven’t visited Tripoli, capital of the north, deemed 3aruset l thawra during Lebanon’s 2019 revolution, then it’s time you change that. It might be small, it might look mundane, but it features so many different gems that will leave you in awe.
So get ready for this list of different touristic spots you should visit in Tripoli.

Kick-start your morning by visiting Hallab 1881, also known as Asr el-Helu, the very first of its branches. From its aesthetically pleasing entourage to its delicious Lebanese delicatesses! Order that tasty lahme b 3ajin and appetizing kaake b knefe to satisfy your taste buds.


Next up, drive up to our Old Souks to get the traditional experience of a lifetime. Crowded, old, and soulful in the least, it also houses the two well-known Khans, Khan el-Khayateen, and Khan es-Saboun that would make for adorable gifts and souvenirs!



Craving more historical places? We got you!

Visit Qala’at Sinjil, the citadel on Tripoli’s hilltop. This historical landmark is known for its beautiful architecture and impressing entrance with its three gateways (One Ottoman, one Mamlouk, one Crusader).




Don’t forget to pass by the infamous now abandoned and hauntingly beautiful train station.
Make sure to have your cameras because these sights are worth capturing.



And lastly, drive to Mina, the city of waves, and delve into the cute cobblestone sidewalks of its very own Mino. Choose a bar of your liking. It has a lot! And end your day with a drink surrounded by like-minded and welcoming people.
