Tripoli - Lebanon

On our day at Tripoli , gods of rain were with us whole day.. Heavy traffic and labyrinth like narrow streets combined with an outdated GPS made our life really miserable for a while..How ever after we found a secure place for our car near the old town it was great to walk around the souks.. With all its caos this Ottoman city won our heart at the end..

Tripoli'ye gittiğimiz gün, yağmur tanrıları bizi hiç yanlız bırakmadı.. Yoğun trafik, labirent misali dar sokaklar, bizim arabanın güncellenmemiş GPS sistemi ile birleşince, bizi bayağı bir süre mutsuz etti. Ancak sonunda eski şehir'in yakınlarında arabamıza güvenli bir yer bulup, eski çarşılara dalınca keyfimiz yerine geldi.Osmanlı'dan pek çok izler taşıyan bu şehir, tüm kaos'una rağmen bir süre sonra kalbimizi çalmayı başardı.




When we entered the laybrint like souks of the old city, the 17th century building Khan Al-Saboun  was among our first stop. I bought a big chunk of lavender soap.

Şehrin labirent misali eski çarşılarına dalınca ilk duraklarımızdan biri 17.yüzyıl yapımı Sabuncu Han oldu. Kocaman küp şeklinde lavantalı bir sabun alarak çıktım oradan..
