Tyre is really one of the most magnificent sights in the world and one of the greatest sculptured works of art that must be admired. Tyre was considered to be very powerful and wealthy due to its flourishing maritime trading, its purple dye and glass industries, but that attracted the enemies who occupied it. Tyre had witnessed many civilizations that played a great role in this city in the past like Arabs, Byzantines, Creeks, and Phoenicians.

The most important sights that reveal the great history of this ancient city are "The Triumphal Arc" that is dated to the 2nd and 3rd centuries, "The Necropolis", and "The Hippodrome".

The Romans built great important monuments in the city, including an aqueduct,
a triumphal arch and the largest hippodrome in antiquity. Christianity figures in the history of Tyre, whose name is mentioned in the new testament

GREAT photo, Moncef. I, too, find this very interesting for the historical aspects. Of course, we have to realize that a 'triumphal arch' was one bloody event where the generals executed the rebels and put the rest in horrific slavery (one can read Josephus' account of the Jews in 70 C.E.). This, though, makes that 'past' just what it is in that area, however, and you got a good view. Nice placement of the horizon. A degree or two of sharpening would have helped the techical aspect.

hi Moncef

Going back to history and finding a place like this is really exciting, especially when you capture the scene on camera. Very nice to see your good capture of the monument.

tfs, bill

Hello Moncef
This photo really promotes the country to it's best showing,
the contrasting angles between the architecture and the sky, works extremely well, making us go back in time.
Great shot
