    In addition to Tyre, the list included, Dahab‘s beach in Egypt, Jordan’s Dead Sea Beach, Kite Beach and Saadiyat Beach in the UAE, Salalah Beach in Oman, Djerba in Tunisia, Oludeniz Beach in Turkey, and Nissi in Cyprus.

    Tyre or Sour (as the locals call it by its initial Phoenician name) is a district capital in the South Governorate of Lebanon.

    It was at first a powerful Phoenician city, and later occupied by the Greeks and then the Romans, and was listed as a World Heritage site in 1984 for its rich archaeological remains.

    The city of Tyre is considered the fourth largest city in Lebanon after Beirut, Tripoli, Aley, and Sidon, and houses one of the nation’s major ports.

    This touristic city has a number of ancient sites, including its Roman Hippodrome, which was added to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites in 1979.
