I am an architect who fell in love with his beloved city, Tripoli.

This bond between the city and myself let me dig deep into its secrets, history, traditions and architecture, and I felt that i have a duty to share these amazing things with others.

I started doing cultural walks in the city in 2016, and soon noticed how people enjoy & admire the city, and begin to understand and feel it the way I do.

I will be glad to welcoming you in Trablous and tell you all about its history, have your admire its architecture, and experience its traditions!
