Sidon was similarly influential, renowned for its historic citadel, souks, and archaeological remains reflecting its past as a center of commerce and craftsmanship. These sites offer a glimpse into early civilization, highlighting the cultural and economic significance of Phoenician societies in the Mediterranean region. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, preserving invaluable insights into Lebanon’s ancient maritime history.
