More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the bus in Beirut as the city thins into coastal road and salt air presses against the window — the Mediterranean daring you toward ruins and seaside souks. In Sidon, the low-lying Sea Castle rises from shallow waves, its stone causeway forcing a conversation between Crusader fortification and enduring Levantine harbor life.
