Food & Restaurants - Em Sharif rooftop is recommended, if you are looking for amazing Lebanese Shawarma go to Joseph Restaurant Shopping - is the Lebanese Lira dropped their price in the market shopping could be a little bit pricy Pro tip for you, no matter which country you are coming from make sure to change at least 100$ to to Lebanese Lira so you don’t get overcharged in the airport.

The ancient seaside town of Tye in Southern Lebanon is filled with colorful alleyways, historic ruins, and beautiful beach shacks where you can enjoy some fresh seafood and delicious Man’oushe Za’atar in between swims in the clear water. In Tyre you’ll also find Roman ruins that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the largest hippodrome in antiquity, a necropolis, and a sea harbor submerged underwater. And what makes it even better, is that you won’t find giant groups of tourists there! I was the only one at these UNESCO sites when I visited, and the town has very chilled beach vibes filled with locals enjoying a day off with family. #awesomepic

#falladventures #naturalwonders On the small promontory next to the Al Fanar Restaurant & The lighthouse still stands a cosy beaut lighthouse, named Al-Fanar , for me the symbol of Tyre, not the hippodrome nor the columns stretching out into the sea at Al Mina. It was built around 1912, perhaps on top of an existing building dating from 1860, It is as white as milk and overlooks a the sea that is often rough, almost as if it were challenging the waves. Opposite, there is a small restaurant where you can have a healthy fattouche and a beer in the shade of the lighthouse.

#postandearn #Tyre Sea Castle Tyre Sea Castle: • The Tyre Sea Castle is a historic crusader fortress built in 1291 by the Crusaders in the city of Tyre, located in southern Lebanon. • It was constructed on a small island connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. Originally, Tyre itself was an island city, famous for its strong maritime defenses. • The Crusaders built the Sea Castle to strengthen their hold over the city and its important harbor. It was strategically placed to protect against attacks from the sea. • Much of the stone used to build the castle was taken from ancient Roman and Byzantine ruins nearby. • Over the centuries, the castle was heavily damaged by battles, earthquakes, and erosion, but significant portions still stand today — especially its two imposing towers connected by walls. • Visitors today can explore the castle ruins, including climbing onto the ramparts, walking along the ancient causeway, and enjoying stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and the modern city of Tyre. • Tyre itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Sea Castle is part of its rich archaeological heritage that includes Roman streets, Byzantine mosaics, and Phoenician harbors. In short, Tyre Sea Castle is a beautiful example of Crusader architecture and an important symbol of the city’s layered history.

#summerdestinations The beach is a truly unique place. It is not just the beach, it is something more than that. The beach gives me an inner peace that I cannot get anywhere else. Because of its importance and its many attractions, the beach is being visited by many people with purposes such as having a holiday, relaxation, and even work. The beach, especially during the daytime, was a very beautiful and inviting scene. The water was as clear as crystals and the beach was as soft as silk. The water was so beautiful. It seemed to glimmer with countless and endless shades of blue. There were tiny dots of white, almost like stars in the sky. These were the schools of tiny fish. They were swimming close to the seashore but still seemed a mile deep in the water. The sea was crystal clear and one could see the green and yellow plants that grew on the seabed. The serene setting of the beach was the best place for our annual family reunion. The beach allows people to go just far enough into the ocean to see part of the land. It allows people to see things not too far on the horizon. The beach is a place to remember and to return. With these facts, it shows that the beach has many faces and expressions that are just there to see them and to embrace them for what they are. There's always time to go back and relive those happy memories that we found on the beach. I find that we are able to relive our happiness and to live our comfort just by the kind of tranquility that the beach offers. We are making it possible to let our human minds truly understand that the beach has something very unique and special to offer for every unique and special person in this world. Every single heart in this world would find out their own favorite description of the beach.

The ancient city of Tyre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is split into two distinct sections, each with its own character and history. The eastern section, which is more extensive, is accessible for a fee of 40,000 pounds, approximately 4.5 USD. This area includes a well-preserved theater and is known for its impressive state of conservation. Given that the site closes at 7 PM, it's advisable to begin your exploration here. I recommend avoiding the coastal section as a starting point, as it can be time-consuming to navigate and locate the entrance, which may lead to a rushed visit. To purchase your ticket, look for "Tyre Al-Bass World Heritage Site" on Google, which will direct you to a small entrance on the street. The western section, situated closer to the sea, is free to enter and is split into two areas by a road. This area offers glimpses of Roman baths and streets lined with Roman columns. Although smaller and less well-preserved than the eastern part, it provides a unique look into Tyre's past and is surrounded by walkways. For those interested in the coastal section, search for "Ruins of Tyre: The Egyptian Port" on Google, which will lead you to a public beach that serves as a local entertainment spot. If you have extra time, you can visit the ruins and then relax on the beach to enjoy the sea breeze. For visitors driving to the site, the eastern part features a free parking lot right next to the ticket booth. The western part of the site is accessible through the old town, which can be bustling with both people and vehicles. You can park along the road, which ends directly next to the ruins.

Tyre Beach in Lebanon! Wonderful! 💕💕
