For a not long time ago Tripoli in North Lebanon was an unusual city, it is not only one city but there’s three cities in one! Tripoli means “Tri-city”. Built on a rocky promontory on the East Mediterranean cost. 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.
