Tyre is among the world’s 20 oldest cities. A Phoenician city that dates back to 2,750 B.C., Tyre is where you can find historical and natural wonders. It’s a great summer destination where you can swim in the crystal-clear sea and visit interesting monuments!
Also known as Sour, Tyre is located in Southern Lebanon.
One of its main sites is a hippodrome which is on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites.
The beach in Tyre is one of the cleanest in Lebanon. Swimming there is a delight!
Tyre’s port is one of the major ports in Lebanon.
It is one of the 11 Phoenician cities and towns that are still inhabited.
You should spend a beach day in Tyre. Who knows, maybe you’ll get to see sea turtles!
And maybe you can go for a swim with them!
Thanks to the Lebanese ecologist Mona Khalil, the sea turtles in the South of Lebanon are protected!
