Sidon is valuable in terms of Lebanon’s culture and is a great example of relic management. A visit to this place must certainly include the ‘Sidon Sea Castle’. It is a fortress built near the port of ‘Sidon’. Sidon was a leading soap manufacturer and was famous far and wide for its fragrant and unique varieties. To prove this thing Sidon holds the details in the ‘Sidon Soap Museum’ which gives us a glimpse of the soap industry that might have been in existence at that time. Sidon sports a common guest house for the people who are believed to be the guests of this city. Termed as the ‘Caravan of Foreigners’ it is a 17th century structure used to accommodate merchants along with their goods. Another cultural building is the Debbane Palace, which is a historic building built to showcase the Arab-Ottoman structure. For shopping enthusiasts, there is the ‘Old Souks’ which is an old market but which sells all modern kinds of goods.
