The Al Mina Site in Tyre : Mosaics, Columns, and the Memory of the Sea

Located by the sea, on the southern tip of Tyre, the archaeological site of Al Mina offers a glimpse into the prestigious history of this ancient city. Less frequented than the Al Bass site, it captivates visitors with its peaceful atmosphere, natural beauty, and the richness of its Greco-Roman and Byzantine remains.

The site bears witness to the former grandeur of Tyre, a prosperous port of the Roman Empire. Visitors will find a wide colonnaded street, beautifully preserved mosaics, an open-air theater, Roman baths, ancient dwellings, and traces of an old harbor now partially submerged. All of this is bathed in southern light and the blue of the Mediterranean Sea.

A visit to Al Mina is more than an archaeological tour: it’s a stroll between sea and memory, where every stone tells a story of power, art, and cultural exchange.
