We visit traditional bakeries, discover authentic Tripolitan kaak, meet experienced bakers, and taste specialties that have been part of the city’s identity for generations. From old family businesses to innovative food concepts, we explore the contrast between tradition and modernity. Along the way, Khaled introduces us to entrepreneurs, craftsmen, food vendors, and passionate locals whose stories reveal the true spirit of Tripoli. DAY 2: DISCOVERING EL MINA Our second day takes us to El Mina, Tripoli’s beautiful Mediterranean coastal city, known for its fishing harbor, seafood, traditional restaurants, and vibrant local community. We explore the fishing port, meet local fishermen, discover freshly caught Mediterranean fish, and learn about the traditions and challenges of Lebanon’s fishing industry. From the boats to the fish market, we experience the authentic atmosphere of El Mina and the people whose livelihoods depend on the sea. We continue through the streets, discovering traditional bakeries, local food businesses, creative restaurants, and new culinary concepts.
