The food scene in Sidon is best discovered on foot — start at Old souks to taste what makes this city's culinary identity distinct. Tuck into lesser-known corners like Temple of Eshmun for the dishes visitors rarely find. From morning market runs to late-night street food, every neighborhood here has its own flavor.

The audio walking tour can include stops such as Old souks — an authentic labyrinth of covered markets selling spices, soap, and household goods, plus hidden gems like Temple of Eshmun — the remains of a Phoenician temple dedicated to the god of healing, in a valley north of the city and Soap Museum — a restored soap factory in the old town explaining the centuries-old tradition of olive oil soap making in Sidon.

While Sidon is best known for history and food, stops like Old souks sit alongside bakeries and cafes tucked into side streets — and quieter spots like Temple of Eshmun where the real locals eat. A food-focused walk connects the culinary landmarks with the places that reflect daily life, turning a sightseeing route into an edible discovery.
The old town is compact and best explored on foot. The souk can be disorienting but it's small — you'll always find your way out.
