The best shopping in Sidon isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Khan el-Franj and Old souks are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Soap Museum — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
An ancient Phoenician port with a Crusader sea castle, labyrinthine souks, and one of the best-preserved old towns in Lebanon.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Sidon. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Khan el-Franj — a beautifully restored 17th-century Ottoman caravanserai used by French merchants, Old souks — an authentic labyrinth of covered markets selling spices, soap, and household goods, plus hidden gems like Soap Museum — a restored soap factory in the old town explaining the centuries-old tradition of olive oil soap making in Sidon.
Use this page as a starting point for a Sidon walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Sidon. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Sidon for history and food, but every walking route ends up passing through Khan el-Franj and Old souks and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Soap Museum — it reflects what the people of Sidon actually buy, make, and value.
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.
