  • The legend of the Saidet al Mantara

    Maghdouche - 8 kms south east of Saida

    is the town of the big statue of the Holy Maria. The story tells that in the cave (today a church) Maria was waiting overlooking the beach to look for Jesus and his followers.

    Today you will have a splendid view of the whole area from the statue. The town Maghdouche, further up is the place where young people from the Christian villages hang out. On September 8th people celebrate the feast of Maria with a big party in front of the church - with beer, dancing and take-away food.
