Because of its strategic location the area has a long history: Tyre is mentioned several time in the Old Testament; Alexander the Great laid seige to Tyre in 332 BC, after building a causeway from the mainland to the main city on an island just off shore; the area was visited by Jesus; the Crusaders captured Tyre in 1124; and the city has suffered significant damage in recent years by the violence between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Notable people associated with Tyre include the philosopher Porphyry and the historian William of Tyre. Authors making reference to Tyre include William Shakespeare (Pericles, Prince of Tyre) John Ruskin, Rudyard Kipling, Oscar Wilde, and E. Nesbit.
