Town Tools builds free, public tools for Tripoli and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

Tripoli's best advice has always travelled by word of mouth — which sweet shop, which corner of the Corniche, where the fish is freshest. Online, that knowledge is scattered across private WhatsApp and Facebook groups and hard to find. This is a place to gather it in the open, from the people who actually live here.
Reading is open to everyone. To add a pick you sign in, so answers carry a name and the board stays useful rather than full of adverts. Pick the place, say why in a line, and the picks people agree with rise to the top.
Where do you go for the best Tripoli sweets?
Knefe, halawet el-jibn, znoud el-sett — the city's pride. Name the shop and the thing to order.
Anyone can read this page. Adding a pick or voting takes a free account — that keeps the list honest. Picks are public the moment they post, and the agent reviews them regularly; if something here looks like spam or is plain wrong, use the report form at the bottom of the page.
