8 Fun Things To Do In Tripoli
Rich culture, delicious food, and hidden gems, it is no secret that Tripoli makes for a fantastic day trip destination. Here are a few spots we think you should visit when you head up to the Northern city!
1. Kick-start your morning by visiting Hallab 1881
Also known as Qasr el-Helou, the one in Tripoli is the first (and most beloved) branch!
Sample their delectable lahme baajine, and be sure to try their exemplary znood el sitt.
2. Drive up to the Old Souks for an experience of a lifetime
Crowded, old, and soulful to say the least, it also houses the two well-known Khans: Khan el-Khayateen, and Khan es-Saboun. You’ll find a ton of adorable gifts and souvenirs!
Craving more historical places? We’ve got you!
3. Visit Qala’at Sinjil, the citadel on Tripoli’s hilltop
This historical landmark is known for its beautiful architecture and impressing entrance with its three gateways (one Ottoman, one Mamlouk, one Crusader).
4. Don’t forget to pass by the abandoned train station
Frozen in time.
5. Visit the adorable Maison Tartine and snap a few shots
Not a Tripoli classic, but a must-visit nevertheless!
6. Try the delicious Moghrabiye sandwich from Al Dabbousi
Does the visit really count without trying the famous Moghrabiye sandwich?
7. Or Abu Sobhi’s famous Chicken Shawarma injected with a toum vaccine!
8. Drive to Al Mina and grab a drink with your friends
Wrap up your day with a visit to some of Tripoli’s most famous pubs!
