South Lebanon is home to some of the most rewarding historical and spiritual destinations in the Middle East — and this small-group guided tour from Beirut brings the very best of them together in one comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable day, with a professional guide and lunch fully included.
In Sidon — one of the world's oldest cities — explore a romantic Crusader sea castle, a wonderfully authentic medieval souk, the world's only soap museum, and a beautiful Silk Road caravanserai. In Tyre — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the Al-Bass Archaeological Complex reveals Roman Tyre at its most impressive: hippodrome, colonnaded street, triumphal arch, and ancient necropolis. The day closes peacefully at Maghdouché — a serene hilltop sanctuary revered by Christians and Muslims alike, where the Virgin Mary is believed to have waited while Jesus preached in nearby Sidon. Your professional guide brings every stop to life warmly and engagingly throughout.
