Tripoli & Batroun Small-Group Tour fra Beirut | Frokost inkluderet
Beskrivelse
Libanons nord belønner dem, der gør indsatsen - og denne lille gruppe tur gør det ubesværet. På en enkelt dag fra Beirut vil du udforske Tripoli's usædvanlige middelalderlige gamle by - et af de fineste overlevende eksempler på Mamluk-arkitektur i den arabiske verden - før du afslutter eftermiddagen i Batroun, en fønikisk kystby grundlagt for over 3.000 år siden, hvor en gammel havmur, stenbelagte gader og en af Libanons mest berømte håndværk ølscener venter. Frokost er på Hallab 1881 - den mest berømte bageri og spisestue institution i Libanon, grundlagt i den osmanniske æra og stadig serverer den bedste libanesiske køkken i Tripoli efter 140 år. Alle billetter og frokost er inkluderet i prisen - intet ekstra at betale, intet at organisere. Bare dukke op og opdage Libanon, som de fleste besøgende aldrig når.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
8:30 - Afrejse fra Beirut Din professionelle guide møder dig på dit hotel i Beirut og leder nordpå langs Middelhavets kystvej mod Tripoli - Libanons anden by og en af de mest undervurderede destinationer i hele Mellemøsten.
Begynd ved den herskende korsfarers citadel, der har overvåget Tripoli siden det 12. århundrede - oprindeligt bygget af Raymond de Saint-Gilles, grev af Toulouse, under den første korstog og udvidet af mamlukkerne, der senere erobrede det. Rambarts tilbyder den fineste panoramaudsigt over Tripoli's gamle by - minareter og stenlofter strækker sig til El Mina havn, med de libanesiske bjerge stigende stejlt bag. Din guide sporer den dramatiske historie om hver civilisation, der har kæmpet for og efterladt sit mærke på disse mure.
Gå ned i den gamle by for at besøge Al-Mansouri Great Mosque - bygget i det 14. århundrede på stedet for en tidligere korsfarerkatedral i Santa Maria. Den oprindelige gotiske portal fra korsfarerkirken er stadig synlig i stenværket - to civilisationer bogstaveligt talt lagret i en enkelt dør. En af de mest betydningsfulde Mamluk monumenter i Libanon og en bygning din guide gør uforglemmelige.
En kort gåtur til en af Tripoli mest bemærkelsesværdige skjulte perler - Taynal Moskéen, en Mamluk struktur bygget på korsfarere fundamenter, der omfatter to forbundne bønhaler: en oprindeligt en korsfarer kirke, den anden en Mamluk tilføjelse. Gothic buer og Mamluk stenværk side om side i samme bygning - en hybrid fundet ingen andre steder i verden, at de fleste besøgende går forbi uden at indse, hvad de ser på.
Tilbring en time i en af de mest autentisk bevarede middelalderlige markeder i den arabiske verden - en labyrint af valsede stengader, hvor guldhandlere, krydderiehandlere, tekstilhandlere og håndværkerworkshops har besat de samme stande i århundreder. I modsætning til de restaurerede souks i Beirut, er Tripoli's gamle marked den rigtige ting - levende, handel, og næsten helt uændret fra Mamluk æraen. Din guide navigerer i stierne med tilliden til en person, der voksede op i dem, og afslører historierne bag bænkene, håndværket og samfundet, der har holdt dette marked åndbart i 700 år.
Et kort stop ved den historiske egyptiske købmands Khan - Khan el Masriyin - hjemsted for en af Tripoli's traditionelle olivenolie sæbefabrikker. Ligesom Sidon i syd, har Tripoli en århundredelang tradition for sæbefremstilling, der engang leverede markeder over Middelhavet. Duften af laurbær og olivenolie fylder stadig disse gamle stenkorridorer i dag.
Intet besøg i Tripoli er komplet uden Hallab. Grundlagt i 1881 under den osmanniske æra, Hallab er den mest berømte spisestue og bageri institution i Libanon - en fleretagers restaurant, hvor generationer af Tripolitans har fejret hver lejlighed i over 140 år. Nyd en fuld libanesisk frokost med frisk mezze og grillede retter, efterfulgt af en smag af Hallabs legendariske slik - knefeh, baklava og mamoul lavet til opskrifter uændret i generationer.
Efter frokost, gå en tur langs El Mina - Tripoli's historiske havn distrikt, hvor tempoet af livet bremser helt. Farvestrålende fiskerbåde i havnen, osmanniske herregårde, der omgiver cornicheen, og en palmeret kystlinje, hvor lokalbefolkningen samles på hver time af dagen. En perfekt overgang mellem middelalderens intensitet i den gamle by og den fønikiske ro i Batroun foran.
Kom til Batroun - en af de ældste fønikiske byer i verden, grundlagt for over 3.000 år siden og i dag en af Libanons mest livlige og charmerende kystbyer. Vandre i den stenbelagte gamle bydel med sine kirker, osmanniske huse og cafeer ved havet. Din guide forklarer de 3.000 år gamle historie af en by, der næsten ikke har ophørt med at blive beboet, siden fønikerne først bosatte sig her.
Det sidste stop er en af de mest usædvanlige gamle strukturer i Libanon - en naturlig stenbarriere på stranden i Batroun, udskåret og formet af fønikiske hænder for over 3.000 år siden for at beskytte den gamle havn fra Middelhavet bølger. Stadig stående. Gør stadig sit job. Din guide forklarer det tekniske geni af et folk, der byggede en havmur, der har overlevet ethvert imperium, hver krig og hver storm i tredive århundreder. En stille og forbløffende afslutning på en ekstraordinær dag.
Tilbage til Beirut – ca. 5: 30–6: 00 PM Scenisk kystkørsel tilbage til Beirut med aflevering på dit hotel - fuldfør en hel dag gennem Libanons storslåede nord, fra en middelalderlig Mamluk by til en fønikisk havmur på Middelhavskysten.

What can I say—I had an unforgettable day trip on July 1, 2026, full of wonderful surprises. Albert (the best tour guide ever) picked me up from my lodging and tailored the day’s itinerary to my preferences. Tripoli and Batroun are very different, but that’s exactly what made this tour unique. I’d already enjoyed Byblos, the Jeita Grotto, and the beautiful town of Harissa with Lebanon Tours back in December, and I’d also been to Anjar and Baalbek—all the tours were with Albert. He’s so knowledgeable and always made me feel safe! Lebanon is definitely worth a visit—I got home yesterday and I’m already feeling wanderlust for the Middle East again 🫶
It is a very good experience, they got in touch from the beginning, they passed us on time and the guide very good. We had a great time
Today I took this tour with a small group . Albert was our tour guide and I was completely surprised by his knowledge. He made our trip into a trip never to forget . I have a problem with my knee and Albert was very considerate. He is also a excellent driver, traffic around the cities is chaotic I can highly recommend this company . They are reliable, and price-quality excellent.
Loved exploring Tripoli’s charm and Batroun’s seaside vibes — such an amazing trip! Just loved Lebanon, its culture and its people!
The tour goes to Tripoli and Batroun I. Northern Lebanon, two very different coastal towns. It is a great experience and Alain our guide with his vast knowledge and the skillful driver Mustafa navigating through, at times, heavy traffic, contribute to the enjoyment of the tour.
The tour to Tripoli and Batroun is a great experience with two contrasting locations, each with their own attraction.
Everyone needs to experience Tripoli which is nothing like Beirut. The castle , mosque & souk were wonderful to visit. Lunch at the famous 1881 was a real highlight. Batroun was nice, a very coastal feel.
I visited Lebanon for one week in June 2025 and stayed in Beirut. I spent two days in Beirut alone and took four day tours outside of Beirut with this company. The Jeita Gotto, another site that I had signed up to visit, was closed during that time, but the company made up for it by taking me to a couple of extra sites in Tripoli and sending me to Batroun on a different day. Hassane was my guide for both cities. He did a wonderful job. He was extremely competent, knowledgeable, and courteous. I had an excellent experience here and everywhere else that I visited. Tripoli is the northernmost major city in Lebanon. It is one of the country’s poorest places and the center of a large number of camps for Palestinian and Syrian migrants. The city is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim. In Tripoli, we visited the Tripoli Citadel, a massive Crusader-era castle built in the early 12th century overlooking the city. We walked through the city souk and visited two Mamluk-era mosques from the late 13th and early 14th centuries: the Mansouri Grand Mosque and the Taynal Mosque. I forget the name of the restaurant where we ate, but it was very good. We then went to Rabbits Island. As someone who studies the Crusades, I knew it as a place with a church to which many people fled as Tripoli was retaken by Muslim forces in 1289, only to be massacred. There were a few ruined buildings there which Hassane said dated from the 19th century, but not much else to see. The standard tour includes just the Tripoli Citadel, the souk, the Grand Mosque, and lunch at a restaurant. The Taynal Mosque and the island were added in to compensate for the loss of Jeita, which was fine by me. Because I could not visit Jeita, I did Batroun with Hassane on a different day in combination with Harissa and Byblos. Batroun is a mostly Christian city, but it is more diverse than Tripoli and has a substantial Muslim minority. The city provides a beautiful view of the Mediterranean with a Phoenician-era wall. We entered Our Lady of the Sea Church, a little Greek Orthodox church on the coastline built in the 19th century. We walked through the town a little before going back to the area where we parked, stopping first at Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, a 20th century Maronite church built on the remains of what is believed to have been a smaller Crusader church. We only stayed in Batroun for about an hour, which is less than what we spent in some other places, but I feel as though I saw the most important sites that the city had to offer. Tripoli is an excellent place to learn about the history of the Crusades and medieval Muslim history, and provides a great opportunity to experience Sunni Muslim culture. I highly recommend it. Batroun was definitely worth the one-hour visit. Hassane was excellent and substantially added to my understanding and appreciation of the past and present history of both cities.
Thank you so much, William, for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're honored that you chose to explore Lebanon with us, and we’re thrilled to hear how much you appreciated both the historical depth and cultural richness of Tripoli and Batroun. Hassane will be very happy to know his guidance made such a strong impression. We truly appreciate your insight and hope to welcome you back again for more discoveries!
It is an amazing experience. To see the history, level and people of Tripoli. Batroun was the best place I have ever seen in my life. Thank you our guide Hassane.
Thank you, Melek! We're delighted you had an amazing experience in Tripoli and Batroun. Hassan will be happy to hear your kind words. Hope to see you again on another adventure! 😊
Our tour to Tripoli amd Batroun was excellent, due mostly to the superb professionalism, courtesy and knowledge of our friendly guide Albert. The car was clean and in good condition, everything advertised for the trip was done and at high standards. We had fun, learned a lot and just had a totally relaxing day, full of interesting sight visits, delicious food and causal enjoyment of walking around the towns. We did some shopping, tastes local specialities, met locals and hear great stories. I wish we would have had Albert for other tours we did at other companies. Had we known how great this company is, we would have done all out trips with them and asked for Albert as out guide.
