Sidon, Tyre & Maghdouche lille gruppe tur | Frokost inkluderet
Beskrivelse
Syd-Libanon har nogle af de mest usædvanlige historiske og åndelige landskaber i hele Mellemøsten - og denne lille gruppe tur bringer det bedste af dem sammen på en enkelt dag fra Beirut, med frokost inkluderet og intet ekstra at organisere. Begynd i Sidon - en af de ældste byer i verden - på et korsfarernes havslott fra det 13. århundrede, verdens eneste sæbe museum, en levende middelalderlig souk og en stor Silk Road karavanserai. Fortsæt mod syd til Tyrus - et UNESCO-verdensarvsted - hvor Al-Bass Arkeologiske Komplex afslører et af de mest komplette romerske urbane landskaber overalt i Middelhavet: hippodrom, kolonnaded gade, triumfbue og gammel nekropolis alle inden for et enkelt ekstraordinært sted. Afslut dagen på Maghdouché - et hilltop helligdom, hvor Jomfru Maria menes at have ventet, mens Jesus prædikede i Sidon, æret af kristne og muslimer. Tre destinationer. Tre tusinde års historie. Frokost inkluderet.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
8:30 - Afrejse fra Beirut Din professionelle guide møder dig på dit hotel i Beirut og leder sydpå langs Middelhavets kystvej mod Sidon - den gamle fønikiske vej, der engang forbød de største handelsbyer i den gamle verden.
Begynd ved Sidons mest ikoniske landemærke - en korsfarerfestning fra det 13. århundrede, der blev bygget på en lille ø lige ud for kysten, forbundet med kysten ved en smal stenvej, dens tårne stiger direkte fra Middelhavet. Gå gennem sine valseformede haller, din guide fortæller den dramatiske historie om korsfarernes besættelse, Mamluk belejringer, og den fønikiske havn, der engang gjorde Sidon en af de mest magtfulde handelsbyer i den gamle verden. Udsigten over havet fra sletterne er blandt de fineste på den libanesiske kyst.
Træd ind i en af Libanons mest autentisk bevarede traditionelle markeder - smalle stenvalsede gader, hvor krydderihandlere, guldsmede, tekstilhandlere og håndværksværksteder har besat de samme rum i århundreder. I modsætning til de restaurerede souks i Beirut, er Sidons gamle marked helt virkeligt - levende, handel, og uændret i sin væsentlige karakter fra den osmanniske æra. En sensorisk oplevelse, som de fleste besøgende husker som et af højdepunkterne i deres rejse til Libanon.
Besøg verdens eneste museum dedikeret til den gamle kunst af olivenolie sæbefremstilling - et sidonsk håndværk praktiseret kontinuerligt i over tusind år. Museet ligger i en smukt restaureret khan i den gamle by, og spore hele rejsen fra olivenlunde til færdig sæbe kage, med udstillinger, der viser de traditionelle metoder, der gjorde Sidons sæbe berømt over hele Middelhavsverdenen og så langt som Europa.
Afslut din tid i Sidon på den store 17. århundrede karavanserai bestilt af Emir Fakhreddine II til at rumme europæiske handlende langs Silkevejen - brede buede gårdhaver, valsede gallerier og udskårne stenfacader, der gør Khan el Franj et af de fineste stykker af osmanniske æra arkitektur i Libanon.
Kom til Tyrus og indtast en af de mest komplette og atmosfæriske romerske arkæologiske steder i hele Middelhavsverdenen. Al-Bass-komplekset afslører det gamle Tyre i ekstraordinære detaljer - en monumental triumfbue, der markerer indgangen til en kolonnaded gade, der engang linede hovedvejen ind i byen, flankeret af sarkofager og gravmonumenter fra den gamle nekropolis. Bortset fra det, Tyre Hippodrome — en af de største nogensinde bygget i den romerske verden, sidder op til 20.000 tilskuere til vogn løb på sin 480 meter spor. At gå den fulde længde af hippodromen i dag, forbi de oprindelige startgater og drejningsposter, er en af de mest immersive romerske oplevelser i Mellemøsten. Din guide bringer den fulde historie om fønikiske og romerske Tyre til live i dette ekstraordinære landskab af gammel sten.
Frokost i Tyre – inkluderet En velfortjent frokost på en lokal restaurant i Tyr — frisk libanesisk mezze og skaldyr serveres skridt fra Middelhavet, med den gamle by som din baggrund. Fuldt inkluderet i din turpris.
Dagens sidste og mest åndeligt resonerende stop - bjergtop landsbyen Maghdouché, hvor den kristne tradition hævder, at Jomfru Maria ventede i en hule, mens Jesus prædikede i nærliggende Sidon. Navnet Mantara betyder "den, der venter" på arabisk - og hulehelligdommen her har været et pilgrimssted i århundreder, ærede lige meget af kristne og muslimer over hele Libanon og den bredere region. Basilica of Our Lady of Mantara står over den gamle hule, og den panoramaudsigt fra bjergtoppen over den sydlige libanesiske kyst og bjergene i det indre giver en passende rolig og smuk afslutning på en dag, der begyndte på kanten af Middelhavet i Sidon.
Tilbage til Beirut – ca. 5: 30–6: 00 PM Nord langs kystvej tilbage til Beirut med drop-off på dit hotel - fuldføre en hel dag gennem den fønikiske, korsfarer, romerske og hellige landskaber i det sydlige Libanon, med hvert måltid allerede taget sig af.

It was a lovely day out to see the southern part of Lebanon. Paula, our guide, is knowledgeable and friendly. I learnt so much about the history and recent development of Lebanon during our journey. By the way, lunch was wonderful with good companies.
Very interesting day with mike, who was well-known not only with roman and islamic history, but also with Lebanon aa a whole in the recent past years. Thank you very much!
I got to see all these places of the South thanks to my driver Albert who also helped me get to the Saint Nicholas church in Sidon. I liked a lot our conversations in the car and he was very helpful to answer my questions about my trip to Lebanon in general. The people from the company know the historical and cultural landmarks and get you to see them in just a day. By evening you are back in Beirut, something very convenient for me. I recommend it 100%.
This was my second tour with Lebanese Travel Agency and, once again, it was an amazing experience. Albert guided us through Sidon and Tyre, including the old market, and shared priceless insights throughout the day. His presence, knowledge, and kindness made the tour truly special. Mateo also gave clear and detailed explanations at each site, showing great preparation and passion. As always, lunch was included — we ate at a local restaurant where the food was both abundant and delicious. You can really feel how much they care about their work. Thanks to them, Lebanon became an unforgettable memory for me.
Thank you! We’re so happy you had another amazing experience with us. Albert and Mateo will be overjoyed to hear your kind words. We’re thrilled Lebanon has become such a special memory for you!
I'm very excited. Albert our tour guide is one of the best tour guides I have met so far. You can feel he loves his job. The tour was very well organized and the food was very delicious. I would recommend the tour at any time.
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour und Alberts Führung so gut gefallen haben. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!
It was a great trip, the guide is very professional and the offer was good. I think it is a good time to visit Lebanon. I would recommend this tour firm and go with them again.

Wow!!! First of all the scenery and views from the mountains and the sea are stunning!!!! The history is fascinating! You are literally walking back in time through the gorgeous ancient alleys of the city. The castle and ruins on the water are spectacular along with all the ancient sites. My guide Lucy was knowledgeable and great to spend the day with. I appreciated having a small group. 10 out of 10 :) highly recommend :)
Thank you for the amazing review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and the stunning sites. Lucy will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Hope to welcome you again soon! 😊
Lucie was our tour guide and was a fantastic and excellent guide taking us through the various ruins and exploring the streets of Sidon and Tyre. Exploring the various markets, churches and eating loads of different types of foods was a wonderful experience. Truly a fantastic trip highly recommended!

Warm regards, Lebanon Tours and Travels
I really enjoyed professionalism and attitude of the guides, and I have travelled with two from Lebanon tours. This tour was with Albert, and it was a big pleasure to be with him during all journey. He will explain everything in a lot of detail and make sure you are happy. For example, if you would like to buy some fruits, he can help and find the good spot. Overall the tour was interesting, I would advise to go to Byblos and Harisa first of you are short on time. Traveling to the south of Lebanon is scary, but we did just fine.
My first day in Lebanon started with a tour heading south. I was in safe, friendly and warm hands with Hassane my tour guide. I have been learning Arabic and felt immediately comfortable practicing as Hassane was happy to know and encouraged me! The drive was fun, with little stop offs at local shops and stalls. It was a pleasure to meet locals, Hassane helped translate and encouraged me to engage with the people on how they live and work. The archeological sites are magnificent, combined with the passionate knowledgable tour guides who work hard to make things clear and answer all questions. It was a privilege to learn about the current state of Lebanon as well as the ancient sites. If you are considering a tour in Lebanon please do not look further. If you are lucky, you will receive the hospitality of Hassane too. I am a busy project manager in the UK and needed a break, this tour was an example of smooth process, accommodating people and special encounters with a seamless door to door trip. It was a tremendous pleasure!
