Lebanon-Tripoli (2)

One thing that I like about this city is that people here are much friendlier and laid-back than in Beirut. The local forks are more willing to talk to us in Arabic, instead of English or French. Because its location is near the border with Syria, we met quite a lot of Syrian people working here. However, what is happening in Syria affect the tourism here. Very few travelers come to this city.

Le







Tripoli, the second-largest city in Lebanon, is located on the north at Mediterranean Sea. It's a city with a long ancient history but much less developed than Beirut. We spent two days here visiting the old city souq and the sea port area. We were amazed by its rich culture but shocked to see how deteriorated the outlook of the city.
