Despre activitate
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.

Housed in a beautifully restored khan in the old city, the museum traces the complete journey from olive grove to finished soap cake in a way that is genuinely charming and enjoyable for visitors of all ages. Your guide explains the history of this remarkable tradition and its importance to Sidon's identity and trade.

Basilica of Our Lady of Mantara — a beautiful and peaceful finale
Close the day at one of Lebanon's most serene and most spiritually meaningful destinations — the hilltop village of Maghdouché, where Christian tradition holds that the Virgin Mary waited in a cave while Jesus preached in Sidon. The name Mantara means "the one who waits" in Arabic — and this beautiful cave sanctuary has welcomed pilgrims for centuries, cherished equally by Christians and Muslims. The Basilica of Our Lady of Mantara stands above the ancient cave, and the wonderful panoramic views over the southern Lebanese coast make this a truly lovely and deeply moving final stop. Your guide shares the history and significance of this special place in a warm and respectful way that touches visitors of all backgrounds.
