Tyre's Ruins

While in Tyre we visited its remarkable ruins dating back thousands on years

. These 

Archaeological Sites are by far the most famous attraction, boasting the largest and best-preserved example of a Roman Hippodrome, 

an arena for chariot racing of which a significant amount survives, which could seat over 20,000 spectators

. The impressive site is huge and also encapsulates a large Necropolis (with several hundred well-preserved sarcophagi), an intact Roman road and aqueduct, and a monumental arch.
