South Lebanon covers 5,000 years of history across three destinations — and this private tour covers all of them in a single well-paced day from Beirut. Sidon: a 13th-century Crusader sea castle, the world's only olive oil soap museum, a living medieval souk, and a Silk Road caravanserai. Tyre: a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Al-Bass archaeological complex reveals one of the most complete Roman urban landscapes in the Mediterranean — visited here with a specialist local guide who knows the site in depth. Maghdouché: a hilltop sanctuary where the Virgin Mary is held to have waited while Jesus preached in Sidon, revered by Christians and Muslims alike for two millennia.
Knowledgeable local driver throughout. Specialist local guide joins at Tyre — the site where expert interpretation makes the greatest difference. Entrance tickets payable on site.

5.00Our guide Natasha was very informative about the sites we were visiting. The depth and breadth of her knowledge of Lebanon is remarkable. Our driver Moustafa did a great job too. A great way to see some parts of Lebanon we had not seen!
