Street Food in Lebanon 2019
Is Tripoli in North Lebanon safe to visit as a tourist?
Is Tripoli safe enough to visit as a tourist? In my opinion, YES. Still you might want to check with locals before visiting. Not to be confused with Tripoli - the capital of Libya, Tripoli or Trablous (the arabic name of the city) is Lebanon's second largest city after Beirut and the capital of the North Governorate. The city overlooks the eastern Mediterranean Sea and there is a string of uninhabited islands just off the coast of Tripoli. These are particularly nice to visit in the summer time, I was told. I stayed at Lamunia Wellness and Spa, a small boutique hotel in Al Qalamun where quite a few hotels are located. It is just a 10 minutes drive from the Al Mina neighbourhood and downtown Tripoli.
The citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles is located on a hilltop overlooking the city. The citadel of Tripoli was built by Raymon De Saint-Gilles, governor of Tripoli, in 1103 on the emplacement of the castle of Saint-Gilles.When the Mont Pèlerin quarter was set ablaze by the Mamluks in 1289, the castle of Saint-Gilles suffered from the holocaust and stood abandoned on the hilltop for the next eighteen years.
If you are visiting Tripoli, you should definitely plan a visit to Abdul Rahman Hallab & Sons in the city center. It is a luxurious pastry shop and restaurant, established in 1881 and famous for its oriental confectionaries.
Walking around Beirut, Lebanon 2018 | Tourist sights and attractions
As you saw in my previous video, I spent the first day of my visit to Lebanon in the seaside town of Byblos and along the Mediterranean coast. A local bus took me back to Beirut after dark and now I had another 48 hours of this weekend trip to explore the capital of Lebanon.
I started the day with a walk along the Corniche, which is popular with runners, bikers, families and fishermen.
It stretches 5 kilometers from the Beirut marina all the way to Pigeon Rocks, a monumental natural arch which is often considered THE landmark of Beirut and a must-see when in town.
This is one of the few places in town that is less hectic and loud. When you are at the outlook in front of the rocks, you can walk down to the shore and explore the area from multiple angles.
Just a few blocks east, there's Hamra, a chaotic, congested and noisy neighborhood which is not just packed with cars honking day and night, but also lots of cafés and restaurants as well as shops selling pretty much anything.
I had very tasty lunch here in one of the restaurants. Lebanese food was actually one of the reasons I came here and I was never disappointed.
After lunch, I continued east along Hamra street and eventually reached Downtown Beirut, the central district with its posh high-end designer stores, over-priced outdoor cafés and restored buildings which were originally built during the French mandate in the early 20th century. The central square of this area is called Place de l'Etoile and features a 1930s clock tower and French-style Art Deco architecture.
This area feels entirely different than Hamra: there are traffic lights and you can cross the street without running the risk being run over by a car, there are no potholes, it is very clean,
but it somehow seemed to lack authenticity.
Some of the most significant places of worship in town are located here: Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral and Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque. In between, there is a huge archeological site.
As I happened to be in town just after Christmas, I still got to see the nativity scene on Martyrs' Square and something I had never imagined seeing here: A huge Christmas tree just next to the major mosque.
Beirut is home to so many different religious denominations and this becomes obvious when the Muslim call to prayer coincides with the bells of the adjacent church.
East of the downtown district is Gemmayzeh, one of Beirut's trendiest neighborhoods. There are not just great bars and restaurants here, but also local fashion and designer stores as well as galleries. Some businesses here are so hipster that it hurts!
This neighborhood was really nice to hang out in. Definitely come here after dark, if you enjoy clubs and bars. Somehow, I realized that I don't have any good footage of the nightlife, but it is really something to experience for yourself.
Each neighborhood is unique and there is so much to see and do. Take your time and explore different parts of town, if you have the time.
As this intense weekend came to an end, I felt a bit overwhelmed by all the amazing things I've seen and done in and around Beirut. I left with an overly positive impression of a country that is often portrayed very negatively by the mainstream media. The friendly and welcoming locals certainly deserve better. This was not my last visit to Lebanon and I can't wait to come back someday.

Travel Vlog - explore the city of Tyre / Sour and travel through South Lebanon.
Travel vlog - explore the city of Tyre (or Sour in arabic) and travel through South Lebanon up to the border town of Naqoura.
Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city and the legendary birthplace of Europa and Dido (the founder and first queen of Carthage). Today it is the second largest city in South Lebanon after Sidon (Saida). In Tyre, you will find several archaeological sites. The archaeological remains date back mainly to Roman times, including baths, an arena, a colonnaded road, a triumphal arch, an aqueduct and a hippodrome. As a tourist, you shouldn't miss the old town of Tyre with its fishing harbour and the neighbouring Christian Quarter. In the modern part of Tyre, you will find the corniche with plenty of restaurants and cafes.
South Lebanon is a primarily rural area. Driving through the countryside, one comes across many picturesque villages and small towns. The village of Maghdouche is one such place. It is located about 3 kms inland on the top of a hill. Maghdouche is known for the Lady of Mantara Statue and the Lady of Mantara Church.
The area along the Lebanese-Israeli border is also extremely beautiful and definitely worth exploring. Naqoura is a small coastal town located right at the border with Israel. It is home to a large UNIFIL base (the United Nations peacekeeping mission to Lebanon).

Considered to be the oldest inhabited city in the world (8000-7000 BC) UNESCO Heritage.
Traveling in North Lebanon. Discover Some Tourist Attractions!
A Dutch tourist in Lebanon - traveling in North Lebanon. Check out some of the tourist attractions in this part of the country. My trip started in Enfeh, a fishing village on the Mediterranean coast which is famous for its white and blue Greek-style houses, old churches and more recently salt production. The trip continued to Amioun, the capital of a predominantly Greek Orthodox district. Then we drove up in the mountains. Here you can find some picturesque small towns like Enfeh, Bcharre and several ski resorts. In April, the peaks of Mount Lebanon were still covered with snow but spring was coming to the Kadisha Valley.
