• Crusaders Sea Castle - The Sidon Sea Castle, constructed by the crusaders in the 13th century, stands on a small island linked to the mainland by a causeway, serving as a fortress in the holy land. It is a key historical landmark in Sidon, Lebanon. The Mamluks largely destroyed the castle in 1291, but it was restored by Fakhr el-Dine Maan II in the early 1600s. Old illustrations depict the fortress as a place of great beauty, though few of its original decorations remain.
• Khan al-Franj - Khan al-Franj is a major attraction in Sidon. Built in the early 1600s by Emir Fakhreddine II, it served as a hotel for ambassadors and a hub for commercial exchange between Lebanon and France. The hotel quickly became a center for literature, religion, history, industry, and diplomacy, embodying culture and civilization. It features a typical khan design with a large rectangular courtyard, a central fountain, and surrounding covered galleries.
• Sidon Souks - The souk of Sidon is the heart of the city’s retail and craft industries. It is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways filled with small kiosks, shops, cafes, street vendors, butchers, grocers, shoemakers, tailors, and jewelers.
• Basilica of Our Lady of Mantara - بازيليك سيدة المنطرة - Our Lady of Awaiting, also known as Our Lady of Mantara, is a Melkite Greek Catholic shrine in Maghdouché, Lebanon, discovered by a young shepherd on September 8, 1721. The shrine includes a tower topped with a statue of the Virgin and Child, a cathedral, a cemetery, and a sacred cave believed to be where the Virgin Mary rested while waiting for Jesus.
