Sidon is located about 45 km south of the capital Beirut, on the narrow coastal strip that separates the mountains from the sea. The diversity of the city is particularly evident in its history. The historical legacy has always been central to Sidon's identity and image. The city is rich in historical sites from ancient ruins to medieval streets to landscapes. Among the manifestations of the city's heritage, we mention Byzantine churches, Crusader palaces, Mamluk mosques, and Ottoman khans. The traditional activities that the city is famous for, such as fishing and carpentry, are still practiced today and are closely related to the history and character of the city.

The town of Maghdouche in southern Lebanon, and the shrine of Our Lady of Mantara, occupied a prominent place in the journeys that Jesus made during his life, in the first three years of the Christian evangelization. The most famous landmark in the village of Maghdouche is “Our Lady of Mantara”, which is the place where Mary waited for her son Jesus Christ when he preached in Sidon and Qana and Tyre.
