Sidon, called Saida in Arabic, is the largest city on the coast south of Beirut, about 38 km by road from the airport. Because the airport lies south of Beirut, the route does not cross the capital: it joins the coastal highway right next to the airport and follows it south past Khalde, Damour and Jiyeh, between banana plantations and the sea. The highway enters Sidon along the seafront. There are no toll roads, and traffic is usually lighter than on the roads north of Beirut.
The Sea Castle, built by the Crusaders in the thirteenth century on a small island, is joined to the shore by a stone causeway and stands at the entrance to the fishing harbour. Opposite it begins the old city, a maze of vaulted souks with the Khan el-Franj caravanserai, old mosques and the soap museum housed in a former soap factory. The historic quarter is mostly pedestrian, so cars stop on the seafront road next to the castle and the harbour. The Debbane Palace, a restored Ottoman-era house, lies inside the old souks.
Public transport: No direct public transport from the airport to Sidon: No scheduled public bus or rail service from the terminal is published by the airport or the national public transport authority; the state bus lines in Beirut do not list a stop at the airport.
