About This Book

The book traces the city's long past from archaeological and biblical associations through Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Crusader, and modern phases. It blends first‑hand travel observations, excavation finds, and documentary sources to describe ruins, ancient ports, and historical episodes while noting local customs and social life. The narrative records contemporary missionary activity and education, comments on governance, and examines place‑names and traditions. Structured as a series of chapters combining topography, historical summary, and on‑site reportage, it offers a synthesized account of the urban landscape and layered cultural heritage for readers interested in regional history and antiquities.
