South Lebanon Coast Travel Guide

Explore Sidon Sidon’s Sea Castle juts off the old harbor where fishermen mend nets; the khan, soap museum and tight medieval lanes draw visitors for seafood, Ottoman architecture and market life. Explore Tyre Tyre pairs long sandy beaches with Roman remains - a colonnaded street, hippodrome and harbor relics - so travelers split time between archaeology, beach afternoons and grilled fish in the old town. Explore Jezzine Jezzine perches on a pine‑covered ridge above the Litani valley, famed for its cascade waterfall, cutlery workshops and summer cool; visitors sip coffee on the square, hike nearby trails and dine on mountain lamb. Explore Qana In South Lebanon’s hills, Qana balances pilgrimage sites and olive terraces: stone houses, small shrines, family-run restaurants serving grilled lamb and mezze, and viewpoints over olive groves toward the coastal plain. Explore Sidon Sea Castle Crusader-era fortress built on an islet at Sidon’s harbor, connected to the city by a causeway. Explore Temple of Eshmun A Phoenician sanctuary near Sidon, with Roman-era ruins, carved reliefs and a channel-fed spring. Explore Tyre An ancient Phoenician port in southern Lebanon with extensive Roman ruins - including a seaside hippodrome - a fishing harbour and long sandy beaches. Explore Ghazieh A coastal town south of Sidon where fish restaurants cluster along the shore.
