The causeway neck
Open sea once lay between the island and the shore. Today that gap is a wide isthmus built up with modern streets, and it gives Tyre its distinctive headland shape from above.

About this Tyre map poster
Tyre is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the Mediterranean, a Phoenician port on the southern Lebanese coast. It began as an island. When Alexander the Great besieged it in 332 BC, he built a causeway from the mainland. Over the following centuries sand built up against it and turned the island into the peninsula visible on the map today, with a broad neck linking the old town and the new.
At the tip of the peninsula, the old town gathers around its northern harbour, which fishing boats still use. Traces of a southern harbour lie along the opposite shore. The archaeological sites at Al-Mina and Al-Bass preserve colonnaded streets, a large necropolis and one of the largest Roman hippodromes known. UNESCO inscribed the city as a World Heritage Site in 1984.
A Tyre map poster turns this layered geography into a clean drawing. It shows the rounded headland, the lanes of the old quarter, the straight avenues of the newer city on the isthmus and the coastline running south. It also recalls the city's older fame for Tyrian purple, the dye that made its name across the ancient world.

Fishing harbour
The northern harbour sits at the edge of the old town. Its breakwaters and quays are drawn as a small enclosed basin among narrow lanes.
Roman hippodrome
At the Al-Bass site, the long oval of the Roman hippodrome and the colonnaded road beside it make a strong geometric shape among the surrounding streets.

Why Tyre
A map that means something
Tyre speaks to the Lebanese diaspora, to historians and to anyone who has walked its seafront. Few cities show their history so directly in their outline, and the map makes the story of the island that became a peninsula visible at a glance, with no caption needed.
You can personalise the title with Tyre or Sour, add a subtitle and edit the coordinates line. Blueprint suits the harbour geometry and Sand the coastal light, while Classic black & white, Noir and Paper work just as well. Order a printed poster, framed or unframed, or download the HD files for $9.
