Sidon, Tyre and Maghdouche Day Trip from Beirut

Sour, Saaida and Maghdouche... one great experince at sea side... Cruciats castle, old souk of saaida, the al bass cite, the one from the sea... Waw! you will for sure enjoy it!

This was a great tour. The archaeology sites were amazing and beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable. It's great to have a guide with an archaeology background like I do! There were only two of us that day so it was way to ask questions. The souk in Sidon was awesome! the view was beautiful

Really wonderful trip, really well organised and the guide was really informative. The sites we visited were beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Lunch was delicious, the bus was comfortable. Really reasonably priced too Would definitely recommend this trip

It was pretty surprising that the tour still wwnt ahead though the Tour company, Nadal, was left with just 2 of us as the others had cancelled. That showed their diligence in service.The guide, Natasha, was very friendly and knowledgeable,ensuring she carries us on throughout. A day well spent

Lunch on the water... Next to a castle.... Beautiful.

Superb ! :) Madline our tour guide was amazing. Local food were in a unique restaurant located in front of the old castle in Sidon; very nice place with delicious food.

Once again, as with our tour to Baalbeck, an amazing experience! We were picked up promptly at our hotel and taken to the offices of the local agency to join a party of nine (excluding the very knowledgeable guide and excellent driver - travelling in Lebanon and Beirut in particular is, in itself, an experience to live through!) After stopping at Kanaan pastry shop (where you can buy some tasty gifts) along the way, we proceeded to Tyre. We enjoyed the scenery (sea on the one side and the hills of Lebanon on the other side.) Tyre has two intriguing archaeological sites. If all the guides are as knowledgeable as ours was, you're in for a treat. Standing on the second site and being able to see Israel in the distance (16km as the gull flies) and imagine what it was like in Biblical times was a special treat. We also enjoyed the visit to Maghdouche to see the cave in which it is alleged that Mary, the mother of Jesus, met her son on His visits to the region. Sidon is also a special place to visit - we were treated to an excellent Lebanese lunch in a restaurant that is perched on the edge of the shoreline and within a stone's through of the Crusaders' castle. The old city souks are in the process of being restored and the city is apparently earmarked to become a "must visit" destination in Lebanon. We did enjoy the walk through the souks and the intriguing visit to a soap-manufacturing museum (where you can buy some colourful gifts to take home.) An unscripted dusk drive through a Palestinian refugee camp to avoid a traffic jam on the main route into Beirut was the cherry on the cake. We were dropped off at our hotel's front door after a safe and thoroughly enjoyable outing.

very nice trip, with some interesting stops at smaller sights along the way. thanks

Sights were great and tour was adequate but rushed, basic information and questions were discouraged.

This tour was my favorite. It was awe inspiring to be in the same place that Jesus walked. Both towns by the Mediterranean offered fantastic views of the city and the sea. The tour guide was amazing and she shared a lot of local knowledge as well as the history of the region.
