Lebanon's north rewards those who make the effort — and this small-group tour makes it effortless. In a single day from Beirut, you will explore Tripoli's extraordinary medieval old city — one of the finest surviving examples of Mamluk architecture in the Arab world — before ending the afternoon in Batroun, a Phoenician coastal town founded over 3,000 years ago, where an ancient sea wall, stone-paved streets, and one of Lebanon's most celebrated craft beer scenes await.
Lunch is at Hallab 1881 — the most famous pastry and dining institution in Lebanon, founded during the Ottoman era and still serving the finest Lebanese cuisine in Tripoli after 140 years. All tickets and lunch are included in the price — nothing extra to pay, nothing to organise. Just show up and discover the Lebanon that most visitors never reach.
