In revenge, Fakhr el-Dine rebuilt the palace in 1620, taking the stones from the Pasha`s palace in Akkar, northeast of Tripoli. Nowadays, the only way to explore the attractive palace is by subjecting yourself to a slightly awkward visit to Marie Bax wax museum.

Description: This convent pension is located in the souqs, just around the corner of Khan al-Franj and can be reached via a door on the left at the end of a small staircase. It has a beautiful courtyard and a very friendly French-speaking owner. Yet, rooms and especially beds are very basic and not the most comfortable.

Description: Built in 1228 on top of a Phoenician temple, the Sea Castle was constructed by the Crusaders to defend Saida’s harbor. Typical for Crusader architecture, the castle features recycled Roman stones and columns. The west tower is well preserved, while the one in the east requires some imagination. There, a small domed mosque was erected by the Ottomans, while the narrow causeway to the castle was added by the Arabs.

The crossing has been closed since the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon at the end of the 1982 - 2000 South Lebanon conflict and since the summer of 2000 has been the site of many anti-Israel demonstrations and cross-border stone throwing. The gate was also where many Palestinian refugees resident in Lebanon rushed towards after the liberation of the south of Lebanon, in order to connect with their families and loved ones who had remained in Israel since 1948.
