If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got some suggestions. Located 30 miles away, Sidon is worth getting in the car for. Sidon Sea Castle, Tyre and Khan al-Franj alone make the drive out worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Baalbek, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Baalbek Ruins. (But we’re also huge fans of Al Moustafa Mosque and Temple of Bacchus.)
