Sidon - Tyre - Maghdouche Trip, From Beirut
Overview
9 hours
Mobile ticket
Sidon is of immense antiquity, but few remains of the ancient city have survived the ravages of time and man.
Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city and the legendary birthplace of Europa and Dido (Elissa). Today it is the fourth largest city in Lebanon[4] and houses one of the nation's major ports.
Maghdouché's most famous landmark is the tower of Our Lady of Mantara, which is a Marian shrine built (May 16, 1963), above the cave that is believed to have been the resting place of the Virgin Mary as she waited for Jesus while he preached in Sidon.

5.00We had a wonderful day trip with Ziad! He showed us many historic sites and told us fascinating stories about the history and culture of the area. He also took us to important landmarks and local markets. Ziad explained everything so clearly that we got a real sense of the local life and traditions. It was a great day with Ziad.
A great and interesting tour with Ziad

5.00Our tour with Ziad was just great! He was incredibly friendly from the start and impressed us with his extensive knowledge. No matter what questions we had, Ziad always had an interesting and informed answer. The tour itself was very varied and perfectly organized. We collected many exciting impressions and felt safe and comfortable at all times. I would particularly like to highlight that Ziad not only conveys facts, but also shares stories and backgrounds that bring Lebanon to life. I can absolutely recommend Lebanon and this tour as a destination – during my trip I always felt safe. I will definitely come back! Thanks for the great time.
Excellent tour

5.00Another amazing tour with Zingy Ride. I can’t recommend them highly enough. From booking through to the day of the tour, they were great. The tour itself is fascinating and takes in so many important historical places. Mahdi is a great tour guide.
Great day out!

5.00My guide Wissam picked me up on time after some good communication. He briefly explained the day's itinerary to me and also explained some additional options as I was the only traveler. We then drove to Saida and I visited the castle of Saida with the great harbor view (entrance fee about 4500 LL). Afterwards, we had a quick walk around the Saida souk. Next up was the ruins of Tyre (Sour). The entrance fee here was 400,000 LL. You can take a careful look at this landscape, but there are some animals living in the ruins (mainly lizards, but also snakes). The ruins are impressive, especially as they border the Palestinian refugee camp. My last stop was the church in Maghdouche and the beautiful forecourt. Wissam offered me a break several times and was very attentive and friendly the whole time. At no point did I worry about my safety. Sour and Saida in particular are really beautiful places that are well worth a visit.

Varied day trip with Roman ruins, castle en ottoman architecture

4.00We were with just 3 people for this tour that visits both archaeological sites in Tyre, the Christis shrine in Maghedouche and the sea castle and souq in Sidon. In Sidon we visited the Debbane ottoman mansion instead of the soap factory. We convinced the guide to have lunch in the expensive restaurant overlooking the sea castle in Sidon, rather than the proposed restaurant, a tent, next to the 4 lane busy road. Driver was rather quiet, but friendly. For the 2 archeological sites there was a local archeologist as a guide, who was very knowledgeable. However, as on all guided tours in Lebanon, everything felt rushed.
We went to Tyre, Magdouche and Sidon
