Known to be the fishing center of Lebanon , Sidon is an old fashioned city just like Tripoli , and is very popular for the cultivation of most of our fruits including bananas , mangoes , apples , and other fruits not found anywhere else in Lebanon. In addition , Sidon serves as a very importantly strategic oil pipeline terminal that extends from Iraq and Saudi Arabia to other recipient countries. Sidon’s nightlife is dominantly spirited up with Arabic music , dancing , and traditional entertainment. What makes Sidon special is that it is home to many delightful , mouth- watering Arabic sweets stores , which make up most of the markets.
