About this activity

Venture to the southern regions of Lebanon on this history-packed sightseeing tour. Two seaside ancient sites, including Saida home to a traditional soap factory and centuries, old sea castle and Tyre, where you’ll have time to explore a Roman-era hippodrome and quaint fishermen’s port.

Driving the highway to Saida is smooth and lovely. The Crusades seas castle is where we start our visit, a splendid old sand stones floating fortress protecting the city sea front where lies the old busy souks. The traditional soap factory, the small shops, the butcher next to the local pastry tiles, the wooden craft street and the “Craque des Chevaliers” will enrich your memories with more surprising involvements in Lebanon’s diversity and cultures.

Time to get deeper in the South where lies Sour or Tyre, the “Bass” Roman hippodrome, the sea ruins, the fishermen’s port and the neighborhoods.

Fish & sea food are delicious as well as a variety of foods, can be found in many restaurants around the city.
