Tyre and Sidon Full Day Tour

The cities of Tyre and Sidon (Saida) are full of archaeological treasures. Both cities are known since ancient times as the most important trading centers of Phoenicia. Many times conquered and destroyed, however, they have survived to the present day as two pearls in the chain of Lebanese coastal cities. I will be pleased not only to tell you the interesting centuries-long history of Tyre and Sidon, but also to guide you through the narrow streets of the Bazaar (souqs), where we will also learn about the secrets of the production of local olive soap. During this tour we will visit the Sea castle in Saida (built by the Crusaders), a Bazaar (souqs), a factory for the manufacture of soap, caravan-serail . In Tyre we will visit two archaeological sites with remains of Roman and Byzantine times: Al-Mina site with an agora, a colonnaded road, a mosaic street and Roman bathhouse and Al-Bass site with a huge archway, a Roman hippodrome and a vast funerary complex. You will visit the area where Jesus walked.
