This coastal city in South Lebanon was said to be the most important of the Lebanese city-states in Phoenician times. The height of its commercial and naval power was achieved toward the end of the Phoenician period, which lasted from the 12th century B.C. to 330 B.C., coinciding with the rise of the Persian Empire. Following this period, Sidon was successively conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Umayyids, the Crusaders, the Mamluks and the Ottomans. Today, Sidon’s main thoroughfare bustles with small shops and commerce. A quaint city, visitors enjoy touring the souq (vaulted marketplace), khan (caravanserai), castle, and other historical sites. The city is known for its production of engraved wooden boxes and furniture, copper and brass trays, olive oil soap, and ebony and bone-handled cutlery.

Tyre is famous for its spectacular Roman ruins, which have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With over 5,000 years of history, Tyre also contains remnants of Egyptian, Assyrian, Phoenician, Greek, Byzantine, Arab, and Ottoman civilizations. The ruins are spread over three sites. The Al-Mina Site (Area 1), located near the sea in the city, includes a long colonnaded road with Byzantine-era mosaics, an unusual rectangular Roman pool, and an extensive Roman bathhouse complex. A short distance north is Area 2, with the ruins of a 12th century Crusader cathedral. The Al-Bass Site (Area 3), a 20-30 minute walk east of the other sites, contains the most impressive ruins. Highlights include a monumental stone archway, aqueducts lining an ancient Roman road, a massive Roman and Byzantine necropolis, and the largest and best-preserved Roman hippodrome in the world. |
