Tyre, Ancient Phoenician city-state in South Governorate, Lebanon
The city extends on a peninsula connected to the mainland, featuring Roman ruins, Mediterranean beaches, and a traditional fishing port at sea level.
Alexander the Great constructed a causeway in 332 BCE to connect the former island to the mainland during his conquest of this Mediterranean stronghold.
The Roman hippodrome in the Al-Bass archaeological area hosts performances and festivals throughout summer, connecting past and present through arts.
Three Palestinian refugee camps, Burj El Shimali, El Buss, and Rashidieh, are located in the southern section of the contemporary urban area.
The marine reserve spans 380 hectares of sandy shores and agricultural lands, providing nesting grounds for loggerhead and green sea turtles.
