Sidon is a coastal city in Lebanon with a rich Phoenician heritage. Visitors can wander through the narrow alleys of the old town, explore the 13th-century Sea Castle built by Crusaders on a small island, and haggle in the vibrant souks selling spices, textiles, and local crafts. The city's layered history is visible in its architecture, from medieval mosques to Ottoman-era khans.

Don't miss

  • Climb the Sea Castle for panoramic views of the harbor and old town.
  • Get lost in the old souks, especially the spice and gold markets.
  • Visit the Great Mosque, originally a Crusader church.
