South Lebanon holds three of the country's most historically compelling destinations — and this guided small-group tour covers all of them in a single well-paced day from Beirut. Sidon: one of the oldest cities in the world, with a Crusader sea castle, a living medieval souk, the world's only olive oil soap museum, and a grand Silk Road caravanserai. Tyre: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Al-Bass archaeological complex reveals Roman urban planning at its most complete. Maghdouché: a hilltop sanctuary revered by Christians and Muslims alike, where tradition holds that the Virgin Mary waited while Jesus preached in Sidon below.
A professional guide connects the full 5,000-year arc of Phoenician, Roman, Crusader, and Islamic history across all three cities. Lunch in Tyre and all entrance tickets included.

A must do trip in Lebanon!

5.00I really enjoyed my trip to Sidon, Tyre and Maghdouche. Albert has been an excellent guide and driver: punctual, full of knowledge, and with a lot of humour. The driver was really pleasant, the car was comfortable and great air conditioning, which was really appreciated during the hot days.
Great tour with Lebanon Tour
