A full day tour to Tripoli and the Cedars

From the earliest times Tripoli in North Lebanon was an unusual city due to its configuration for it was not one city but "three cities in one", hence its name Tripoli or the "Tri-city". Forty-five buildings in the city and twelve mosques , many dating from the 14th century, have been registered as historical sites. Next, simply known as "The Cedars", this resort settlement in Lebanon's highest range is one of the most dramatically beautiful spots in the country. Its centerpiece is an ancient grove of cedars, a tree synonymous for millennia with Lebanon itself.
