Famous for the purple dye, Tyrian purple, Tyre is also known as Sour/Ksour in Arabic. This popular Beirutian holiday destination also happens to be home to the UN peacekeeping mission. This cardinally Shiite town’s origins date back to more than 4,500 years, having been ruled by many empires including the Crusaders, Byzantines, Romans, Greeks, Assyrians, Egyptians, and the Ottomans. In the end, Tyre never really regained its former glory. Today, this stunning seaside town is known for its large-scale Roman ruins and also for housing the country’s best, cleanest beaches. Could Tyre be the best-kept secret of the Mediterranean? Check out this list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Tyre, Lebanon.
