- Note
- "Tyre (Arabic: صور‎ Ṣūr), is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, though in medieval times for some centuries by just a tiny population. It was one of the earliest Phoenician metropolises and the legendary birthplace of Europa, her brothers Cadmus and Phoenix, as well as Carthage´s founder Dido (Elissa). The city has a number of ancient sites, including its Roman Hippodrome, which was added to UNESCO´s list of World Heritage Sites in 1979.
Today Tyre is the fifth largest city in Lebanon after Beirut, Tripoli, Aley and Sidon, It is a district capital in the South Governorate. There were approximately 200,000 inhabitants in the Tyre urban area in 2016, including many refugees." - (en.wikipedia.org 18.11.2019) - Latitude
