07. Sidon – more than 7 thousand years old

More than 7 thousand years ago, the city of Sidon, in Lebanon. Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, about eight kilometers from the country's capital, Beirut, Sidon was one of the most important Phoenician cities and had a large Mediterranean commercial empire. Currently, the city is on any list of places to visit in Lebanon, being one of the most important tourist attractions in the country.

For religious people, the city of Sidon, one of the oldest places in the world, is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible as “the firstborn of Canan”.

There is no shortage of reasons to visit Sidon. For religious people, the city is mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible as “the firstborn of Canan” due to the name of its possible founder, Saidoune Ibn Canaan. Furthermore, there are several interesting tourist attractions, such as the castle built in the 13th century by the Crusaders on top of a Phoenician Temple, the market (or souk in Arabic), which is one of the most interesting in Lebanon, its port and, of course, the historic center of Sidon itself.
