Sidon transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Sea Castle and Khan el-Franj take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Temple of Eshmun for the kind of night that only locals know about.
An ancient Phoenician port with a Crusader sea castle, labyrinthine souks, and one of the best-preserved old towns in Lebanon.

Sidon is primarily visited for history and food, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Sea Castle and Khan el-Franj come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Temple of Eshmun — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
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.
April through June and September through November. Sidon is a 45-minute drive south from Beirut.
