With more adventures in Lebanon ahead of me, I finally made it to the city of Tripoli, where I’d be going all-out with food and sightseeing. Come with me as I enjoy some incredible Lebanese food in Tripoli, Lebanon!
Tripoli is the second-largest city in Lebanon after Beirut, as well as its northernmost city. It’s an ancient city whose roots go back to at least the 14th century BCE!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
My friend and guide Nico and I started our adventure at the Palace of Sweets, a legendary shop that sells Lebanese sweets! It dates back to 1881 and is famous for their dishes made with ashta cream, including cakes, cookies, and ashta cream knafeh!
Everything looked so good, especially the knafeh! They invited into the back, where we saw it being made, along with lots of other sweets.
The halawet el jebn was made of thin dough filled with ashta cream, which is fried and soaked in sugar syrup. It was like a sweet, creamy egg roll!
Next, we got some pistachio mafroukeh, ashta cream knafeh, and maamoul. The pistachio mafroukeh with hot rose syrup was fluffy and creamy. I loved the fluffiness, crispiness, and decadence of the ashta cream knafeh.
The maamoul also contained ashta cream and was my favorite of the three. It was soft and crumbly, and the rose syrup took it to the next level.
Upstairs, we saw their beautiful cafe-like dining hall where you can buy more items, including chocolates and savory foods! Then, we went back into the kitchen to watch them make the halawet el jebn!
It’s hand-made out of a dough of semolina and cheese. Then, they coat it in sugar syrup!
From there, we drove five minutes to the Castle of Tripoli (a.k.a. The Citadel of Raymond Saint-Gilles) in the center of town. Below it on the street is a mini market with fruit and vegetable vendors. You have to climb uphill to get to the fortress!
It’s a beautiful Crusader fortress that dates back to before the 12th century. It was enlarged in 1103 but was completely destroyed before being rebuilt by the Ottomans. It has a moat and little windows where archers defended the fortress.
There are also white and black bricks around the entrance archway. It only cost us $0.50 each to enter. Inside, the citadel is massive. There are lots of buildings, a courtyard, and more.
There are so many levels with staircases leading up and down. I could see ruins of houses. There are windows looking out directly at the city, and on the roof, you can enjoy stunning views over all of Tripoli and the sea.
Next, we headed to the old souk, where you’ll find lots of shops with jewelry vendors, food vendors, spice sellers, and more. I tried a bit of za’atar and bought a big bag for my friends!
Then, we found a vendor selling moghrabieh, which is dough balls, chickpeas, and onions stir-fried together. Here, they put it in a rolled sandwich with pickled turnip. I loved the grainy dough balls and the pickled turnips! It cost 15,000 LL.
Then, at another stand, I got more za’atar from Syria and then a pickled chili from another stand. In their kitchen, I tried shanklish (cheese with lots of spices and olive oil). It was crumbly and so tasty!
Next were fruit, vegetable, and seafood vendors. I tried fresh strawberries before making it to the jewelry section. Then, we found and toured a hammam, or a Turkish bath!
After leaving the souk, we went to have some Tripoli kaak (15,000 LL), which is a bread with ackawi cheese, black olives, tomatoes, and peppers inside. It was smoky and crispy and a little doughy, like a thin bagel sandwich.
Finally, we drove to El Mina, a community next to the sea, to have some chicken at Kalasina Chicken. They grill it over charcoal!

You're watering my mouth in my house in Toronto this morning....mmmmm....I miss this food so much....anxious to revisit Lebanon (I am Lebanese Canadian) and eat all this delicious food...Sahtein
I made a good friend from Lebanon many years ago, her name was ovdokiye. we worked together for Basha food I was a vegetable and parsley washer. LOL
Oh my God you should have tried the Lahme baajin (meat with 1000 layer filo, ghee, pomegranate molasse and pine nuts) from Hallab in tripoli. it is epic. next time maybe :)
I have been there and it is simply the best. They catered a cousin's wedding. Across the river is the also ancient town of Zghorta where northern Lebanon starts.
David's videos are the only ones after Mark Wien's which I keep waiting for . Love from INDIA ❤
Amazing tour in my hometown!
I wish you also captured scenes on the beach in Mina, you were 1 minute away !!!
I just love how naturally cheerful and humble and how genuine you are especially when eating , emmmm unmmm emmm all the time :D Sahtein!!!!!!

I imagine how good Lebanon is for tourists like imagine paying half dollar to see so beautiful things and a dollar for eating bro everything is just so cheap !
I think currently is 18,000 liras to the $1
When i was in january i think it 28,000 to $1.
That price is always changing, not sure what it will be when i go in May
@@l_a_u_y8916 you are right but it will always be cheap compared to before the Chrisis and the price is changing now between 20 And 24 thousand not 18000
@@elaceaceak2357 jeez the way it fluctuates

This is not halawet jeben this is "znoud set" halewet jeben is white ...
The guy who was cooking the old guy he was doing the halawet el jibn thats how it's made
Warlords of tripoli on youtube
Cheese BOMB mmmmm kunafa
😍😍😍
Guys is it safe to visit Lebanon 🇱🇧 now ?
Yes
You know the media is just politically influenced
Lebanon have been always a touristic place so you can find hotels with 24/24 electricity and even Lebanese people have generators so don't worry
And to visit in Lebanon is baalbak (largest roman temple on earth )
Geita grotto ( biggest cave in the middle east and ranked anung world wonder )
Byblos (oldest inhabited city)
And by the ways everywhere in Lebanon literally everywhere there is roman ruins and waterfalls (because 70% of Lebanon are mountains)
Just don't go to the Lebanese Palestinian borders and everything is fine
❤
Wats ur age David?
Love my city Tripoli. The first dish is znood el sit. ( fried ) Not Halawet el jibn. Abdulrahman Al Hallab is the best one.
al halab is the best. greetings from saids hope you're safe there!
15000 just for a sandwich ! what happened?
15000 is 0.75$
Bro the thing is that people there have mercy on each other so the guy that salary was 2000$ now have a salary of 100$ yes this is so sad but unlike other places in Lebanon in tripoli people have mercy on each other so they just want to live peacefully
USA sanctions and political. corruption happened. The US admin curfews lebanon, every single dollae that was in the banks was ordered to be taken out of the country, which caused a huge economical collapse. This is because they want Lebanon to normalize its relationship with Israel and eventually surrender to a "peace treaty". Yeah Israel the same entity that occuppied lebanon ever since 1978 and occuppied its capital Beirut, killing hundreds of thousands, and was only driven out of Lebanon by the force of resistance. Lebanon will never forget what Israel did. The lives that were lost are more precious than the whole USA and its damn dollars.
The city of generosity that's it only in tripoli you can find such prices
#HalaMadrid Love from India.
I always thought Tripoli is in Libya .. ?? 🤔
There are two
Yeah tripoli is the name of the capital of Libya and it is also the name of the second biggest city in Lebanon
@@Greyowen8628 3 haha basically
Teh first one in Greece
And our ancestors the Phoenicians gave the name of Tripoli because of the connection that they had with the ancient Greece and later on Tripoli Libya came
David! Great show! I cringe and gasp every you time you shove a huge chunk of super hot food in your mouth...! Be careful!
P.S. I see you are near 100,000,000 subs! Well deserved! Congratulations!
LOL every episode at least one hundred times David says " super " and " right " gets a little annoying the 7000th time you hear it .. also the every two seconds when he reacts to the food with " mmmm hmmm " in a way that makes it sound like someone asked him a question and he replies ...but no one asked him ...lol such a strange habit ..I still enjoy the foods presented tho
Palace of sweets is overrated and overpriced there are so many other places in tripoli where you can have decet sweets speaking of experience of course you're missing on better places 👍

Garbage
Why most of them are unkind to their employees?
Where did you see that?
@@conleytoby1547 In Lebanon .... I was working at Beirut, then Tripoli 🙆🙆😢thanks Allah✈️✈️✈️to African where the human kind originated
Can't compere it to a delecieuse moroccan foot.
Food u mean?
Always a maroccan who wanna B on other pple food u cant its in your blood being impolite lol
Earlier I was in an Tunisian video always marrocans B on the contents and having fight with Algerians
Calm down food is a taste I personnaly have Marocan friends and they know they sweet im not interested and some they agree when they tasted the Lebanese version
So that's a choice and don't flatter yourself a lot Maroccan food isn't even in the top as compare to the Lebanese
Bro 🇱🇧♥️🇲🇦but you can't judge a dish without eating it 😉
