About this experience
Tyre is one of the great cities of the ancient world — a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, and Crusaders all left their mark across thousands of years of history. This private day trip from Beirut gives you the most complete Tyre experience available — visiting both of the city's major archaeological zones in one comfortable day. Most Tyre tours visit only one site. This tour visits both — the Al-Bass complex with its Roman hippodrome, triumphal arch, and ancient necropolis, and the Al-Mina area near the ancient port, where Byzantine streets and Crusader-era remains reveal the extraordinary layered history of a city occupied for over 4,000 years. End with a stroll along Tyre's beautiful ancient fishing port and an optional seafood lunch by the Mediterranean. Your knowledgeable driver brings every site to life warmly throughout.

Al-Bass Archaeological Site
Al-Bass — Roman Tyre's most impressive monuments Begin at the Al-Bass archaeological complex — one of the most impressive and most accessible Roman sites in the entire Mediterranean world. Enter through a magnificent triumphal arch still standing after two thousand years, then walk along a beautifully preserved colonnaded street flanked by ancient sarcophagi and tomb monuments from the Roman necropolis. At the far end, the remarkable Tyre Hippodrome awaits — one of the largest ever built in the Roman world, seating up to 20,000 spectators for chariot races on its 480-metre track. Walking the full length of this extraordinary arena — past original starting gates and turning posts — is one of the most memorable and most accessible ancient Roman experiences in the Middle East. Your driver shares the full story of Roman Tyre as you explore at your own comfortable pace.
60 minutes here · Admission not included
Al-Mina — the ancient city near the port Continue to the Al-Mina archaeological zone — a completely different and equally fascinating area of ancient Tyre located near the historic port. Here the layers of civilisation are even more dramatically visible — Phoenician foundations beneath Byzantine streets, Crusader-era columns repurposed from earlier Roman structures, and mosaic floors that have survived centuries of conquest and rebuilding. This is the part of ancient Tyre that most visitors never see because most tours stop at Al-Bass and turn back. Your driver brings the extraordinary multi-layered story of this remarkable site to life in a clear and engaging way that makes every stone and every column speak.

Tyre Port
Tyre Port — the ancient harbour still in use today A wonderfully relaxing stroll along Tyre's ancient port — one of the oldest continuously used harbours in the world, still full of colourful wooden fishing boats, still busy with the daily rhythms of a working port that has barely changed in character for centuries. A charming and peaceful contrast to the archaeological intensity of the morning, and a lovely setting for photographs before lunch.
15 minutes here
Tyre
Lunch in Tyre — optional A wonderful optional lunch at a local Tyre restaurant — fresh Lebanese mezze and beautifully grilled seafood served steps from the Mediterranean with the ancient city as your backdrop. One of the loveliest lunch settings in all of Lebanon and a thoroughly enjoyable way to complete your Tyre visit before the comfortable drive back to Beirut.
60 minutes here
Beirut
Return to Beirut — approx. 3:30–4:30 PM Your driver brings you comfortably back to Beirut with drop-off at your hotel — completing a wonderful day at one of the most historically extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the entire Middle East.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beirut usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beirut is not rushed.
Is Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Beirut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beirut can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beirut and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tyre UNESCO Day Trip from Beirut | Both Archaeo Sites start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beirut within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beirut?
+
On Outty we rank every Beirut experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Small-Group Tour to Baalbek, Anjar and Ksara with Lunch, Guided Small-Group Tour to Jeita, Harissa, Byblos with Lunch, Jeita Grotto,Harissa&Byblos Full-Day PRIVATE-CAR Trip from Beirut. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beirut?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beirut?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
