Tourism in Lebanon - Tourist sites and attractions in Lebanon

Sidon, capital of South Lebanon, has been mentioned in writings since the 14th century BC and was constantly inhabited. Since Antiquity, it has been one of the most flourishing ports of Phoenicia and the Mediterranean. Traces of this glorious past still hover in every street of the city.

Saida (Sidon), South Lebanon 

The Sea Castle, a crusaders fortress from the 13th century, is erected on an island cliff next to the city. Visitors can access it through a bridge. Sidon is a very exciting and fascinating city. Its great mosque, its castle of St Louis and its “Khan el Franj” (caravanserai) are all a must see.
