Tripoli Tour & IFTAR - Tripoli Tour & IFTAR - Tripoli District

  • Ramadan Karim

    As we find ourselves in the midst of the holy month of Ramadan, it presents a perfect opportunity for VT members to gather for a special Iftar. In Lebanon, we are blessed with a diverse religious community, and it is our collective responsibility to embody the ideals of harmony and unity that Lebanon stands for.
    Our destination for this gathering is Tripoli.
    Our journey in Tripoli will commence from the citadel, where we will delve into its rich history and architectural significance through a comprehensive guided tour. Descending the staircase, we will explore the Historical Access, followed by visits to The New Bath, Mansouri Mosque, the Jewelry Souk, Gypsy Bath (Hammam el Nouri), Khan el Saboun, The Taylor’s Khan (Khan el Khayyateen), and The Egyptian Khan (Khan el Masriyyeen). We will also catch glimpses of the mosque and school of Bortassieh from a distance before continuing our exploration to Souk el Haraj and Soldier’s Khan (Khan el 3askar).
    Guiding us throughout this enriching experience will be Mr. Elias Khlat, a dedicated member and friend, who will provide us with invaluable insights to enhance our journey.
    Please note that minor adjustments may be made to the tour itinerary based on prevailing conditions.
    Our excursion will culminate in a delightful Iftar at a local restaurant, ensuring we break our fast together in a memorable setting.
