Aside from the wonderful hospitality you will experience, we are happy to assist you in finding a tour guide to take you through the maze of the old Souq Al-Massriyyin dating from the 15th century, and now occupied by modern shops. We can guide you to the many other wonderful attractions Tripoli has to offer as well.

We are centrally located within walking distance to many of Tripoli's famous tourist attractions including the famous St. Gilles Crusader castle. This castle is one of the most beautiful castles remaining in Lebanon and is extremely well preserved. The fee is only about $5.00 and pays for the upkeep of the castle.

Tripoli is full of many well-known attractions that are listed in all the guidebooks. Listed below are the highlights of the Souq.
• In the old souq you will find the Mosque Teenal from the 14th century, with Byzantine capitals and columns, a beautifully decorated main entrance, and unique architecture of the minaret. There are many other beautiful mosques to see in Tripoli as well.

• Also visit the Khan es-Saboun dating from the 17th century Ottoman period, nestling a soap crafts workshop and a jewelry workshop where you can see how craftsmen work with silver and gold.
