You'll travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle for a full-day experience, with a private driver and guide who is an expert in the local culture.

You will discover the architectural and archaeological wonders of three legendary sites. In Tyre, a coastal city with more than 4,000 years of history, it is recognized as the oldest city in Lebanon.

You'll visit its famous Phoenician port, which dates back to the 3rd century BC and was built under Alexander the Great himself. You'll also see the Crusader-era castle, which was built by the Knights of the Order of St John in the 12th century.

Arriving in Sidon, you'll stroll past a duo of epic Crusader-era fortresses: the Château de la Mer and the Château Saint-Louis, as well as the Great Mosque, which you'll have the chance to see and appreciate its beautiful Ottoman Islamic architecture.

The third destination is Maghdouche, known for its sanctuary of the Virgin Mary. The site is located in a cave and is a place of pilgrimage for both Christians and Muslims. You can also visit the ancient church of Al-Saydeh and the local market.

During the tour, you will enjoy a delicious traditional Lebanese lunch, to get even closer to the culture and customs of the locals from the palate.
