The ancient seaside town of Tye in Southern Lebanon is filled with colorful alleyways, historic ruins, and beautiful beach shacks where you can enjoy some fresh seafood and delicious Man’oushe Za’atar in between swims in the clear water. In Tyre you’ll also find Roman ruins that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the largest hippodrome in antiquity, a necropolis, and a sea harbor submerged underwater. And what makes it even better, is that you won’t find giant groups of tourists there! I was the only one at these UNESCO sites when I visited, and the town has very chilled beach vibes filled with locals enjoying a day off with family. #awesomepic
