Oscar Niemeyers stunning Fairground Expo site is a hidden gem for architectlovers. After you ticked Brasilia and Rio of your list, book your flight to Lebanon and get on top! The park is accessible by one entrance. No entrance fees. Only pedestrians allowed. The park is open during daytime. You can basically visit anything when there is no sign or lock. You can even acces the helicopter platform!

It is one of not many mosques which is easy to visit by no Muslims. It is a beautiful building, makes great impression and is a great place to learn more about Muslim culture. As in any mosque, remember to remove your shoes before entering, there are shelves next to the door. Wear modest clothes covering knees, elbows, etc. Women need to cover hair as well. There was a gentleman who for a small fee was renting headscarves. I definitely recommend visiting the place, religion is important part of local culture.

The mosque is best visited with a guide. It is a moving place to see, especially as it is a dynamic, living place of worship. The simplicity and the architecture made be glad to have had the opportunity to visit it several times. I recommend seeing this place and other with someone who loves Tripoli and who is able to bring the city and its attractions to lfe.

Tripoli has definitely the best souks in Lebanon. A lot of traditional products to buy with a really good prices! One of the main products which was produced and sold here in the past were soaps, very nice one made of olive, with amazing scents.

I visited the Saint Gilles Citadel in March 2019 and it was an amazing visit. From the top platform, you had an awesome 180ish degree vista over the city, you could see all the different districts of the city (souqs) and it was possible to walk all through the ruins of this castle. My guide, a local Lebanese fellow, described it well: The crusaders from Europe were celebrated as heroes back home, but from the perspective of the arabic culture, they were monsters, torturing and killing helpless people. To see this huge castle on top of a city, where there are little wars every few months, leaves a huge impact on you. The visit was amazing though, the price was 5000LBP/person, I would calculate about 25-30 minutes for the entire visit!
