Sidon: Sidon, or Saida, is the third-largest city in Lebanon. It is located on the Mediterranean coast in the South Governorate, of which it is the capital. Tyre, to the south, and the Lebanese capital of Beirut, to the north, are each about 40 kilometres away. Sidon has a population of about 80,000 within the city limits, while its metropolitan area has more than a quarter-million inhabitants.
Lebanon famously delayed its 2023 spring-forward by a month, leading to a temporary split in civil time across the country.
