Tripoli: The Abandoned Jewel

Feb 1, 10 AM

Since Tripoli is our main concern, and people always have misconceptions about the city, UTOPIA constantly organizes Cultural Tours to introduce Lebanese citizens as well as foreigners to the archeological, historical and gastronomical major sites in the city.

Our tours enfold an inclusive rich experience that allows our tourists to explore Tripoli’s rich culture, mouth-watering cuisine and wonderful people. The parades embrace sightseeing to the most recognized attractions of the city, passing by Tripoli’s Citadel and Al Mansouri Great Mosque.

Additionally, the tours include a visit to discover the old souks in town, viewing traditional workshops, and rare hand crafts mills as well as meeting some of the exceptional craftsmen in the Middle East.

While visiting these forgotten places, Tourists often express their astonishment and declare their admiration of the sites.

During our tours tourists go behind the scenes to savor Tripoli’s best dishes at daily authentic places. Starting with the delightful Tripolitan dough or bagels and coffee and finishing with outstanding Arabic sweets.

When the tours end we always encounter comments like:

 

These dishes are out of this world! Can I have some for later on?

I’ve never thought Tripoli comprehends such beautiful historical sites!

 

These words make us even prouder of our Tripoli and encourage us as an organization to develop these tours and keep them going.
