A few steps from here, 12 000 years ago, a shell landed on the sandy beach the city of Tyre. And It was not any shell, it was a shell like no other: From this shell dripped a violet dye… a color so radiant and sophisticated that nowhere in the world could there be one which matched it: The Murex Shell and its vibrant magical dye!

Come and feel the dynamic pulse of an old vibrant city and experience the unmatched hospitality of Tyre at Murex Hotel. Located just across the seashore amidst fancy shopping places, soft-sandy beaches, and a walking distance to the magnificent sites of old Phoenicians and Romans temples!
