Tyre (Modern Tyre/Sour, Lebanon)
This Phoenician port supplied materials for Solomon’s temple and faced Ezekiel’s prophecies of doom. Its name survived as Hellenistic “Tyrus” and Arabic “Sour” after the 7th century CE. Now Tyre (Sour), Lebanon, the coastal city features Roman ruins and harbors where ancient ships once docked. Fishermen still cast nets from shores where Phoenician traders once launched vessels.
