It is a very nice, traditional Arabic souk. You can find a little bit of everything, clothes, souvenirs, local products, food, etc. For us it was the first souk we visited in Lebanon but not the last. It is a great labyrinth where you can get lost and found many times.

"Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon" (Mt 15:21). The Sidon's Sea Castle - ﻗﻠﻌﺔ ﺍﻠﺑﺤﺮ - on the port of Sidon, was built by the Crusader Knights of St John of Hospital and Jerusalem to guard the port and the city, on the islet where a temple dedicated to Melqart, a Phoenician deity, the patron deity of Tyre, once stood. The castle still stands proudly, despite its age, the neglect of man and the total absence of the Lebanese Institutions , busy - apparently - with "other" affairs. Roman columns, as you can see, and blocks of buildings from the old city were used for its construction. A small minaret, still visible, was later built. It is well worth a stop: there are many cosy restaurants opposite where you can satisfy your palate as well as your eyes.

It was he...., the fearless Druze Fahr al- Din II - a lover of Italian art and a friend of the Grand Duke of Tuscany - who created in the 17th century this large caravanserai not far from the crusader castle of Sidon on the Lebanon Sea. Merchants, both French and non-French, used to gather in this large courtyard and trade in silk, cotton, perfumes and spices in the midst of elegant limestone arches over which, nowadays, lively bougainvilleas climb and blossom. On the upper floors, the merchants found rest at night, accompanied by the gurgling of the fountain in the centre of the courtyard. Always worth a visit and a short break!
