• Sidon - Sidon, one of the most ancient Phoenician cities, was established in the 3rd millennium BC and flourished in the 2nd millennium BC. Renowned for its purple dyes and glassware, Sidon was also visited by Jesus. Throughout the Crusades, Sidon frequently changed rulers and underwent destruction and reconstruction.
• Crusaders Sea Castle - Constructed by the Crusaders in the 13th century, the Sidon Sea Castle stands on a small island linked to the mainland by a causeway, serving as a fortress in the Holy Land. It is a significant historical landmark in Sidon, Lebanon. The Mamluks largely destroyed the castle in 1291, but it was restored by Fakhr el-Dine Maan II in the early 17th century. Historical prints depict the fortress as a site of great beauty, though few of its original decorations remain.
• Sidon Souks - The souk of Sidon is the hub of retail and craft industry activities. It is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways filled with small kiosks, shops, cafes, street vendors, butchers, grocers, shoemakers, tailors, and jewelers.
• Our Lady of Mantara - Our Lady of Awaiting, also known as Our Lady of Mantara, is a Melkite Greek Catholic shrine located in Maghdouché, Lebanon, discovered on September 8, 1721, by a young shepherd. The shrine features a tower topped with a statue of the Virgin and Child, a cathedral, a cemetery, and a sacred cave believed to be where the Virgin Mary rested while waiting for Jesus.
• Tyre - Tyre is an ancient Phoenician port city and the birthplace of Elissar, the Phoenician princess who founded Carthage. It was globally renowned for its purple dye made from murex sea snails. Two main archaeological sites, “Al-Bass” and “Al-Mina,” highlight its historical importance. With a stunning seaside location, it is a popular holiday destination known for its excellent and pristine beaches. The town’s origins date back to around 2750 BC, after which it was governed by the Egyptians and then the famous King Hiram, under whom it thrived. It was later colonized by the Assyrians, Neo-Babylonians, Greeks, Seleucids, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamluks, and Ottomans.
• Al-Bass Archaeological Site - The Al Bass Archaeological Site is the largest and best-preserved example of a Roman Hippodrome. The Tyre El Bass sector, which served as the main entrance to the town in ancient times, includes the remains of a necropolis on either side of a wide monumental causeway dominated by a Roman triumphal arch from the 2nd century AD. Other remnants include an aqueduct and the 2nd-century hippodrome, one of the largest in the Roman world. The site contains a necropolis with several hundred well-preserved sarcophagi, an intact Roman road, an aqueduct, and a monumental arch.
