Sidon, also known as Saida, is a mesmerizing coastal city that glitters like a jewel on the waves of the Mediterranean. Lebanon's third-largest city, Sidon, boasts a rich history stretching over 6,000 years. This former Phoenician metropolis offers a captivating blend of culture, historical significance, and stunning scenic beauty.
Located south of Beirut, this ancient Phoenician city prospered due to its proximity to the sea. Sidon became a centre for glass manufacturing and the famed production of purple dye. Its strategic location further enhanced its importance as a key Mediterranean terminus for the Trans-Arabian Pipeline, which linked major cities and towns across Lebanon.
Jebel Marra, a dormant volcano, is the highest point in Sudan, reaching a staggering 3,042 meters above sea level. Located in the heart of Darfur, this massif stretches roughly 160 km in radius, presenting a dramatic display of nature's power.
The surrounding Marrah Mountains, known for their diverse volcanic peaks, create a unique geological landscape. These rugged mountains dominate the region and play a crucial role in its geology.
The fertile volcanic soils support a variety of vegetation, while seasonal streams, fed by melting winter snows, carve through the sandstone valleys, adding to the region's distinctive character.
