The Triumphal Arch of Tyre is one of the city's most impressive archaeological relics. The arch stands over a long avenue which has a necropolis on either side and sarcophagi dating as early as the 2nd century BCE. The Triumphal Arch had fallen apart but was reconstructed in modern times and today is fairly close to what it probably looked like for the ancient world.

Paul stayed with the believers here for seven days. Through the Spirit, they tried to convince Paul not to go on to Jerusalem, but when the time came, he continued on his way. All of the disciples and their wives and children accompanied him out of the city, kneeling and praying for his safety.
