Tripoli (Arabic: / Ṭarābulus) is the largest city in northern Lebanon and the second-largest city in the country. Situated 85 kilometers (53 miles) north of the capital Beirut, it is the capital of the North Governorate and the Tripoli District. Tripoli overlooks the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and it is the northernmost seaport in Lebanon. It holds a string of four small islands offshore, and they are the only islands in Lebanon. The Palm Islands were declared a protected area because of their status of haven for endangered loggerhead turtles (Chelona mydas), rare monk seals and migratory birds. Tripoli borders the city of El Mina, the port of the Tripoli District, which it is geographically conjoined with to form the greater Tripoli conurbation. |

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”. Built on a rocky promontory on the East Mediterranean cost. Its geographical and strategic position was further enhanced by the presence of offshore islands and natural ports. Tripoli thus inevitably played and still playing a predominant role in political and economic developments in the region and the Middle East for over two millennia. |
