  Tripoli : Profile

Location

Tripoli, in North Lebanon, is built on a rocky promontory. Its position enhanced by the presence of offshore islands and natural ports. This is a city where the modern and medieval blend easily into a lively and hospitable metropolis. Modern Tripoli is divided into two parts: El - Mina ( the port area and site of the ancient city ) and the town of Tripoli proper. The medieval city, at the foot of the Crusader castle, is where most of the historical sites are located.

Tripoli is predominately made up of Muslims, so women should cover their legs with long trousers/skirt and not bear their shoulders. Men shouldn not wear shorts which are too short.

Clearance

See Lebanon/Clearance for the correct procedures.

Docking

This is a huge harbour. There appears to be pontoons in the inner harbour.
