Sidon/Zahrani Terminal

Sidon, also known as Saida, is a historic coastal city in Lebanon boasting a remarkable history of over 6,000 years.  During the Phoenician era, Sidon was a renowned center for glass manufacturing and the production of the prized purple dye, symbolizing royalty and wealth.  Over the centuries, Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Crusaders have all left their mark on the city's architecture and culture.

While the Zahrani Terminal itself might not be a huge tourist destination, Sidon offers a wealth of historical and cultural attractions. Explore the imposing Sidon Sea Castle, a 13th-century Crusader fortress on a small island, or delve into local traditions at the Soap Museum.  Wander through the labyrinthine alleys of the Old Souks, a traditional marketplace overflowing with unique souvenirs, clothing, jewelry, and spices.  History buffs can explore the Khan El Franj, a historic caravanserai that once served as a lodging for merchants and travelers, or visit the Debbane Palace, a beautiful palace and museum.
