Tyre (Sour)
Beirut, Lebanon
Tyre, an ancient Phoenician city, boasts a rich history spanning over 3,000 years, marked by its impressive archaeological sites, including the remnants of Roman aqueducts and the well-preserved Byzantine mosaics in its ruins. The UNESCO World Heritage Site features both the land and sea parts of Tyre, with a picturesque setting along the Mediterranean coast.
Plan a few hours to explore the archaeological site and the adjacent sea castle, considered a fine example of coastal fortification. April to June and September to October are ideal months for pleasant weather. The local seafood market offers a taste of the region's culinary heritage, making for a worthwhile detour.
