About this experience
Tripoli is Lebanon's most underrated city — a medieval masterpiece of Mamluk architecture, living souks, and Crusader history that rewards every visitor who makes the effort to explore it properly. This guided small-group tour pairs it with Batroun, one of the oldest Phoenician coastal towns on the Mediterranean, for a full day in Lebanon's magnificent north with lunch and all entrance tickets included. A professional guide leads you through the citadel ramparts, two remarkable mosques where Gothic and Islamic architecture meet in the same stonework, an hour in one of the most authentic medieval markets in the Arab world, and a traditional olive oil soap factory. Lunch is at Hallab 1881 — Lebanon's most celebrated dining institution, founded in 1881. The afternoon brings Batroun's charming old town, a 3,000-year-old Phoenician sea wall still standing on the beach, and a refreshing stop at the legendary Hilmi's House of Lemonade.

Citadel Saint Gilles (Qal'at Sinjil)
Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles — Qal'at Sanjil Begin at the 12th-century Crusader citadel that has commanded Tripoli's skyline for nine centuries. From the ramparts — panoramic views over the old city's minarets and rooftops, the port of El Mina, and the Lebanese mountains beyond. Your guide traces the full arc of Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans who each left their mark on these walls.
30 minutes here · Admission included
Al-Mansouri Great Mosque — Gothic meets Mamluk Built in the 14th century on the site of a Crusader Cathedral of Santa Maria — the original Gothic portal still visible in the stonework. One of the finest Mamluk monuments in Lebanon and a building where two civilisations are literally layered in a single doorway. Your guide makes the architectural history unmissable.
15 minutes here
Taynal Mosque
Taynal Mosque — two civilisations in one building A Mamluk structure built on Crusader foundations incorporating two connected prayer halls — Gothic arches and Mamluk stonework existing side by side in the same building. A hybrid architectural achievement found nowhere else in the world.

Souk Al-Harajb
Souk Al-Harajb — Tripoli's living medieval market One hour in one of the most authentically preserved medieval souks in the Arab world — stone-vaulted alleyways where gold merchants, spice vendors, soap makers, and fabric traders have occupied the same spaces for centuries. Unlike the renovated souks of Beirut, Tripoli's market is entirely real — alive, trading, and unchanged in character from the Mamluk era. Your guide navigates with genuine local knowledge.

15 minutes here
Batroun
Batroun old town — 3,000 years of coastal life Arrive in Batroun — one of the oldest Phoenician cities in the world, founded over 3,000 years ago and today one of Lebanon's most charming coastal towns.

30 minutes here
Phoenician Wall
Phoenician Sea Wall — 3,000 years old and still standing A natural rock barrier shaped by Phoenician hands over 3,000 years ago to protect the ancient harbour — still standing on the beach today, still doing its original job. One of the most quietly extraordinary ancient structures in Lebanon.
15 minutes here
Hilmi's House of Lemonade — the perfect finale Freshly squeezed lemonade at Batroun's most legendary local institution — cold, fresh, and made to a recipe that has refreshed visitors for generations. The ideal close to a full day in Lebanon's north.

Tripoli & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beirut.
How much does Tripoli & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included 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 & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included 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 & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included?
+
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 & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included 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 & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included?
+
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 & Batroun Small-Group Tour | Lunch & Tickets Included 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.
