Spring (April to June) is arguably the best time to visit the Western Tower at Sidon Sea Castle in Lebanon. During this season, the weather is pleasantly mild, with average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), making it ideal for outdoor sightseeing and exploring the historical site without the discomfort of the searing summer heat. Spring also means fewer tourists, so you can enjoy the Western Tower with a bit more peace and tranquility. The Mediterranean climate ensures that the sea breezes are cool, but be sure to carry a light jacket, as evenings can still be a bit chilly. In addition, the clear skies and gentle weather provide a perfect backdrop for stunning photographs of the castle against the coastal landscape.
However, if you can't make it in the spring, autumn (September to November) also provides a good alternative, with similar temperate conditions. This period witnesses a gradual dip in tourist numbers after the bustling summer season, allowing for a quieter visit. The sea remains warm enough for comfortable swimming, and the Sidon Sea Castle, with its Western Tower proudly standing against the azure waters, is still an impressive sight. The weather is comparable to that of spring, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F), which are ideal for visitors who wish to take their time exploring the historical and cultural significance of the site without facing the extreme weather conditions of summer or winter.
