About this experience
Tripoli is Lebanon's most underrated city — a place that travelers who have been there consistently rank higher than they expected, and that travelers who skipped it consistently regret. This guided small-group day trip pairs it with Batroun, one of the oldest Phoenician coastal towns on the Mediterranean, for a full day in Lebanon's north with everything included: guide, lunch at Hallab 1881, and all entrance tickets. In Tripoli: a Crusader citadel with nine centuries of history in its walls, two Mamluk mosques where Gothic stonework is still visible in the 14th-century facade, an hour in one of the most authentically preserved medieval souks in the Arab world, and a traditional soap factory that has been operating in the same khan for generations. In Batroun: a charming Phoenician old town, a 3,000-year-old sea wall still standing on the beach, and a glass of Hilmi's lemonade to close the day. No extras. No surprises.

Citadel Saint Gilles (Qal'at Sinjil)
Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles — nine centuries above the city Built by Raymond de Saint-Gilles during the First Crusade, expanded by the Mamluks, modified by the Ottomans — nine centuries of conquest and control visible in a single set of walls. From the ramparts: panoramic views over Tripoli's rooftops, minarets, and the port of El Mina. Your guide traces the full arc of who held these walls and what it cost them.
30 minutes here · Admission included
The Great Mosque
Al-Mansouri Great Mosque & Taynal Mosque Al-Mansouri — built on the site of a Crusader cathedral, the original Gothic portal still clearly visible in the 14th-century Mamluk stonework. Taynal — two prayer halls where Gothic arches and Mamluk architecture exist side by side in the same building. Two mosques that are also two history lessons — your guide makes sure you see both.
15 minutes here
Souk Al-Harajb
Souk Al-Harajb — unchanged since the Mamluk era A full hour in stone-vaulted alleyways where gold merchants, spice vendors, fabric traders, and artisan workshops have occupied the same spaces for centuries — not renovated, not curated for visitors, just functioning exactly as it always has. Your guide navigates with local knowledge and explains what makes Tripoli's market different from every other souk in Lebanon.
60 minutes here
Khan el Masriyin soap factory & Hallab 1881 A brief stop at the historic Egyptian merchants' khan — home to a traditional olive oil soap factory producing here for centuries. Then Hallab 1881 — founded in the Ottoman era, the most celebrated pastry and dining institution in Lebanon. Lunch of fresh Lebanese dishes followed by Hallab's legendary knefeh, baklava, and mamoul. Fully included.
10 minutes here
El Mina Port
El Mina Port — Tripoli's ancient waterfront A brief stroll along El Mina — Tripoli's historic fishing port with colourful boats, Ottoman-era mansions, and a pace of life that resists acceleration. The natural transition between medieval Tripoli and the Phoenician coast ahead.
10 minutes here
Batroun
Batroun old town — 3,000 years of coastal life Founded by the Phoenicians over 3,000 years ago and still going. Stone-paved streets, Ottoman houses, seafront cafés, and a Mediterranean setting that has attracted visitors since before recorded history. Your guide covers the Phoenician origins and the remarkable continuity of a town that has never stopped being lived in.
30 minutes here
Phoenician Wall
Phoenician Sea Wall — 3,000 years old, still functional A natural rock barrier shaped by Phoenician hands over 3,000 years ago to protect the ancient harbour — still standing on the beach, still doing exactly what it was built to do. One of the most quietly extraordinary ancient structures in Lebanon and proof that Phoenician engineering has outlasted every empire that followed it.
15 minutes here
Hilmi's House of Lemonade — the only way to finish Freshly squeezed lemonade at Batroun's most legendary local institution — cold, sharp, made to a recipe that has been refreshing this corner of the Lebanese coast for generations. After a full day in Lebanon's north, there is no better close.

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 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 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 2 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.
