The city

Landmark: Citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles & Mamluk Old City Souks.

The Tripoli Municipality oversees a UNESCO-nominated heritage district containing 39 Mamluk-era mosques, madrasas, and khans where traditional artisans still produce olive oil soap using methods unchanged for 800 years — the city's heritage office coordinates craft licensing, heritage grade renovation permits, and artisan cooperative grants to sustain a living craft economy inside an active medieval urban fabric.
Tripoli hosts the unfinished Rachid Karami International Fair — an Oscar Niemeyer-designed modernist exhibition complex commissioned in 1963 that was never completed due to Lebanon's civil war, leaving a sprawling concrete heritage site that the municipality must assess for structural safety, plan for adaptive reuse, and protect from further deterioration while managing archaeological surveys of its grounds.

How a term works

Take office and every day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is scored on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, inside a real budget, and every mayor's work adds to Tripoli's own record on the Board of Mayors. You are not alone in office: message and chat with other mayors, form a council with friends, trade with nearby cities and send aid. Cities rise together: there is no losing city.
