    TRIPOLI, LEBANON - Tripoli is an ancient city in the North of Lebanon, and a food paradise. In this video we went on an ultimate street food tour of Tripoli, discovered some of the unique local foods, including the most amazing stretchy CHEESE WATERFALL dessert I’ve ever seen - it was an amazing day in Lebanon. #Lebanon #Tripoli #LebaneseFood #streetfood
    Here’s everything we did on this Lebanese street food tour in Tripoli:
    Kaake Traboulsi - The breakfast staple in Tripoli is a type of bread called kaake traboulsi, filled with cheese and sumac and grilled. 1,000 LBP ($0.66) - Price for 1
    Restaurant of Happiness - Really that’s the name! - This bakery was incredible, so much action and energy, and the baked goods were delicious. 21,000 LBP ($13.93) - Price for everything
    The Great Mosque of Tripoli - Mamluk Mosque completed in 1314 - We then did some sightseeing in the ancient city of Tripoli, the Great Mosque and to the Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles which was built during the Crusades. The views of the city were fantastic and gave a nice perspective of the city.
    Moghrabieh - Couscous from Morocco - This is a very interesting food in Tripoli, with influence of Morocco, but big balls of couscous wrapped in a sandwich. But the best thing about this place was the amazing stretchy cheese dessert. 1,500 LBP ($1.00) - Price per sandwich
    Al-Abd Hammam - One of the highlights of the day was visiting the old Hamam, a Turkish bath built in the 17th Century during the Ottoman period. It was great to take a rest and drink a coffee in the hammam.
    Bayt El Falafel - Falafel Restaurant - 1,500 LBP ($1.00) - Price per sandwich
    Kalasina Chicken (goo.gl/maps/KwQw59L9kZoi4G9v8) - Grilled and rotisserie chicken, which is a popular food in Tripoli, and this place was delicious. Their garlic was amazing. 20,000 LBP ($13.27) - Price for everything
    The Sailor Woman - Finally, to end this Lebanese street food tour in Tripoli, we went to The Sailor Woman to eat a mix of seafood sandwiches, but mainly samke harra, a spiced fish with tahini.
    It was an amazing day in Tripoli, Lebanon and I loved the food and entire energy of the city.
    Thank you to USAID - My visit to Lebanon was supported by the USAID Lebanon Enterprise Development Project.

      Mohammed Rashid ... Lebanese are friendly people generally but they are very tricky and have some ego against non white or even the Arabs themselves. Lebanese think as higher modern life style people and they intend to do really but they have low people as well.

    In Brazil we also have sfiha because of the big lebanese immigration here. Here it's written differently: "esfirra" and you can find it all over the country. But I imagine it's not nearly as good as the original in Lebanon.
    Ours is the open version with either minced meat, cheese or other toppings. We even have a fast food chain called Habib's, which focus on Middle Eastern cuisine but also serves more general fast food items, like pizza.
    I wish Mark had eaten sfiha in Brazil as well to tell the difference between the two.
