Sidon, Lebanon
Sidon (Saida) was one of the most important Phoenician city-states, and its history stretches back over 6,000 years. The Sea Castle, built by Crusaders in the 13th century on a small island connected by a causeway, is the city's icon. The old souk is a genuine working market — not tourist-oriented — where locals buy household goods, spices, and sweets.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided Sidon walking tour with audio narration. Use it to explore Sea Castle, Khan el-Franj, Old souks, plus hidden gems like Temple of Eshmun and Soap Museum without booking a group tour.
This Sidon walking tour is built for travelers searching for a self-guided audio guide, a free walking route, or the Roamee app for Sidon. Start with Sea Castle and Khan el-Franj, then branch into local context, photo spots, and neighborhood stories as you walk.
