About Sidon

The city of Sidon or (sayda) is 48 Km south to the capital Beirut.
It is a very quite city comparing to Beirut.

I usually visit Sayda each time I go to Lebanon cause I have family there.
It has a very special scent..smells kind of citrusy...I love it.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Great weather & beaches.
