The city has been bombed, invaded, occupied and generally suffered cruelly in the last 30 years at the hands of various parties including Israel and its proxy militias. There is a shortage of accommodation and a large number of aid workers. This means high prices for rooms, but it also means you can get a great cup of coffee!
Tyre has more wonderful Roman ruins, including the biggest surviving hippodrome in the Roman Empire.
We had a sunset stroll through the old Roman town which lead to the old harbour. The children were too tired to be impressed by their surroundings.
