  • Must see site for a Sidon visit around 1 hour drive from Beirut. Small entrance fee. Not too much to see and not well preserved so definitely visit with a guide to get the full interesting history...

  • Very small castle with lots of history. It’s a plus that it’s by the water so it’s really calming as well. Would help if there was a guide to tell you about the history of the castle but you can Google it! Lol. A visit will last around 15 minutes. Don’t forget to take pictures or even come with a fishing rod to grab dinner!
  • The castle is historic and considered a national treasure, there are some reconstruction and rehabilitation works. It is nice to visit and make sure to have a guid to hear the story of it and the history of this ancient place.
