What you'll see and do
Beirut
8:30 AM — Hotel pickup, Beirut Meet your guide at your Beirut hotel and head north along the Mediterranean coastal highway toward Tripoli.
Pass by without stopping
Citadel Saint Gilles (Qal'at Sinjil)
Begin at Tripoli's commanding Crusader citadel, originally built by the Count of Toulouse in the 12th century and later expanded by the Mamluks. From its ramparts, you get sweeping views over the old city, the port of El Mina, and the Lebanese mountains — one of the most dramatic viewpoints in northern Lebanon. Your guide traces the story of Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans who all left their mark on these walls.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Visit one of the most important Mamluk mosques in Lebanon, built in the 14th century on the site of a former Crusader church — the original Gothic portal is still visible. The mosque's soaring minaret and intricately carved stonework are among the finest surviving examples of Mamluk architecture in the Levant.
15 minutes here
Khan Al-Khayyatin
Step into one of Tripoli's best-preserved medieval khans, built to house merchants and their goods along the old trade routes. Khan Al-Khayyatin — named after the tailors who once worked here — is a beautifully vaulted caravanserai that gives a vivid sense of the city's commercial past.
5 minutes here
Pass through Khan el Masriyin, the Egyptian merchants' khan, home to one of Tripoli's traditional olive oil soap factories. Like Sidon, Tripoli has a centuries-old soap-making tradition — a craft that once made these cities famous across the Mediterranean world.
5 minutes here
A quick stop at one of Tripoli's historic Ottoman hammams, dating back several centuries. Even from the outside, the domed roof and carved stone entrance hint at the elaborate bathing rituals that once took place inside — a fascinating window into daily life in the medieval city.
5 minutes here
El Mina Port
Head to the port district of El Mina for a relaxed stroll along Tripoli's historic waterfront. The colourful fishing boats, Ottoman-era mansions, and palm-lined corniche offer a completely different atmosphere from the old city — and a perfect spot for lunch before heading to Batroun.
15 minutes here
Batroun
Batroun — old town & Phoenician sea wall End the day in Batroun, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, founded by the Phoenicians over 3,000 years ago. Wander the charming old town with its stone churches, Ottoman houses, and seafront cafés. Don't miss the ancient Phoenician sea wall — a remarkable 3,000-year-old barrier carved from natural rock, still standing on the beach. Batroun is also famous as the home of Lebanon's craft beer scene, so there's time to enjoy a local brew before heading back south.
30 minutes here
Beirut
Return to Beirut — approx. 5:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel after a full day exploring the best of Lebanon's north — medieval Tripoli and Phoenician Batroun.

Fantastic tour guide!
Albert was an amazing guide! I had the pleasure to spend two days with him and both were the highlight of my trip! Tripolis is an interesting and beautiful place. Great to have a guide that shows you the most important spots. Batroun is a hidden germ which is just stunningly beautiful next to the sea. Cannot recommend the tour and especially Albert enough!

Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 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 Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut?
+
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 Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tripoli and Batroon Small Group Tour with Lunch from Beirut 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, Harisa & Byblos: Small Group Tour with Hotel pickup. 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.
