If you're staying in Byblos, set aside some time to check out the Roman Colonnades, Byblos Castle and Byblos Old Souk.

Before you head home, why not spend an afternoon cheering along with fellow sports obsessives at a local sporting fixture? Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium is 35 kilometres to the north of Sidon. For visitors who fancy sleeping close by, make a reservation at the Four Seasons Hotel Beirut or the Bayview Hotel.
