Today, an excursion along the coastal road to the south of the country awaits you. First visit the temple of Echmoun, a Phoenician sanctuary from the 6th century B.C. Continue to the port city of Sidon, which is already mentioned in the Bible. Even from a distance you can catch a glimpse of the city's landmark - the sea fort from the Crusader era. Stroll through the bazaar alleys and let yourself be taken back to past times in the old caravanserai. Last but not least, Tyros (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the southernmost major city in the country, promises numerous impressive sights such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Colonnade Street and the largest known Hippodrome.
