📜 DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:
=========================
This time our trip is different; we are going to the sea, but where? It’s in front of Tripoli, where there are 9 islands of which 3 of them (Palm, Sanani, Ramkine) make a 🌿nature reserve and 🏛 cultural heritage place. The description of this reserve is given at the end.
A 🛥 boat ride will take us to reach the islands, it takes about 40 minutes to get there, and we will admire from a distance 🔭 the ancient ruins of the city and the small islands. This island is now considered 🦩 “Mahmeyyeh Tabeeyeh” and it’s also called “Jaziret el Nakhel”. No 🌴palm trees or 🐇 rabbits currently exist on the island but it’s said that there were some in the past.

We will start our tour on a boat around the islands and we will end this relaxing day by 🤽 swimming in wonderful clear water 🐠 at the beach.
Before our trip to the island, will make a visit to the historical 🏛 “Borj el Sabaa” and the 🚂 train station.
On our way back to Beirut, we may stop in Tripoli to refresh our self by delicious 🍦 ice cream.
It will be a nice experience! Don’t miss it.
