Description
Two of Lebanon's most charming and most rewarding northern destinations — one comfortable full day from Beirut. This private tour combines the medieval grandeur of Tripoli with the relaxed coastal beauty of Batroun, giving you a wonderfully varied day that the whole family will enjoy from start to finish. In Tripoli — Lebanon's fascinating second city — you will explore a commanding Crusader citadel, two magnificent Mamluk mosques, one of the most authentic medieval souks in the Arab world, a soap factory, and the legendary Hallab 1881 pastry institution. Then drive south along the Mediterranean coast to Batroun — one of the oldest Phoenician cities in the world and one of Lebanon's most beloved coastal towns — for a stroll along its charming old town, a visit to the remarkable 3,000-year-old Phoenician sea wall, and a refreshing stop at Hilmi's House of Lemonade, Batroun's most famous and most refreshing local institution. History in the morning, coastal relaxation in the afternoon.

Itinerary
Beirut
9:00 AM — Pickup from your Beirut hotel Your friendly driver meets you at your hotel and heads north along the beautiful Mediterranean coastal highway toward Tripoli — a scenic and pleasant drive of about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Citadel Saint Gilles (Qal'at Sinjil)
Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles — panoramic views over Tripoli Begin at the impressive 12th-century Crusader citadel that has watched over Tripoli for nine centuries. Climb to the ramparts for a wonderful panoramic view over the city's rooftops, minarets, and the port of El Mina beyond, with the Lebanese mountains rising behind. Your driver shares the engaging story of the Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans who all left their mark on these magnificent walls.
Al-Mansouri Great Mosque & Taynal Mosque Visit two of Tripoli's most beautiful and most historically significant Mamluk mosques — both built partly on Crusader foundations, with original Gothic stonework still visible in the architecture. A fascinating example of how different civilisations have layered their history into these remarkable buildings over the centuries — your driver points out the architectural details that tell this wonderful story.
Souk Al-Harajb
Tripoli Old Souk — authentic and atmospheric Stroll through one of the most genuinely authentic medieval markets in the Arab world — stone-vaulted alleyways where gold merchants, spice vendors, and artisan workshops have been trading for centuries. A wonderfully atmospheric and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages — the sights, sounds, and aromas of a traditional Lebanese market that has barely changed since the Mamluk era.
Tripoli Soap Factory — a living Lebanese tradition A charming brief stop at one of Tripoli's traditional olive oil soap factories — a craft practiced here for centuries and deeply woven into the city's identity. A delightful and educational visit that gives you a glimpse into one of Lebanon's most enduring artisan traditions.
Hallab 1881 — Lebanon's most famous pastry institution An optional but highly recommended stop at Hallab — founded in 1881 and the most celebrated pastry and dining institution in Lebanon. Enjoy a quick and delicious lunch alongside Hallab's legendary sweets — knefeh, baklava, and mamoul made to recipes unchanged for over 140 years. A treat that every visitor to Tripoli should experience at least once.
El Mina Port
El Mina Port — Tripoli's peaceful waterfront A lovely stroll along El Mina — Tripoli's historic fishing port district where colourful boats bob in the harbour, Ottoman-era mansions line the corniche, and the pace of life is wonderfully relaxed. A charming and peaceful end to your time in Tripoli before heading south to Batroun.
Batroun
Batroun old town — one of Lebanon's most charming coastal towns Arrive in Batroun — one of the oldest Phoenician cities in the world, founded over 3,000 years ago and today one of Lebanon's most beloved and most picturesque coastal towns. Wander the charming stone-paved old town with its beautiful churches, Ottoman houses, and lovely seafront cafés. A wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable contrast to the medieval intensity of Tripoli.
Phoenician Wall
Phoenician Sea Wall — 3,000 years old and still standing Visit one of the most remarkable ancient structures in Lebanon — a natural rock barrier on the beach of Batroun, shaped and extended by Phoenician hands over 3,000 years ago to protect the ancient harbour from Mediterranean waves. Still standing today, still doing its job, and a wonderful reminder of the extraordinary engineering skills of the Phoenician civilisation that shaped so much of Lebanon's history.
Hilmi's House of Lemonade — Batroun's most refreshing institution End the day perfectly at Hilmi's House of Lemonade — one of Batroun's most beloved and most famous local institutions, serving freshly squeezed lemonade made to a recipe that has delighted visitors and locals alike for generations. Cold, fresh, and utterly refreshing after a wonderful full day exploring Lebanon's magnificent north. A simple pleasure that perfectly captures the warm and welcoming spirit of Batroun.
Beirut
Return to Beirut — approx. 5:30–6:30 PM Your driver brings you comfortably back to Beirut with drop-off at your hotel — completing a wonderful full day through the magnificent north of Lebanon, from a medieval city to a Phoenician coastal gem.
