    A hidden gem with saida’s old souk, we came by it by accident, when a place like this should be much more celebrated. So much history in one place and architectural marvels. The entrance is pretty cheap, and getting to the roof rewards you with a nice 360 view.

    The best touristic site to visit in Saida! The women working there welcomed us warmly and explained the history of the palace and gave us a nice tour. The place is very well maintained and it's very affordable to visit at 20,000 LL at the time of this writing. Highly recommended if you're in the south.

    An 18th century castle influenced by the ottoman art and tools. Impressive how the rooms were furnished and how the internal court is designed. 3 floors of art and history in this palace. 1st floor is the saloon and kitchen. 2nd floor is library and some rooms. 3rd floor is a terrace with an awesome view over old saida town and sea castle. entrance fee 5000LL/adult.

    Old place to visit in saida's souk. The place is gorgeous with old furniture. You can take a break there. Recommend to go up to the roof were you can catch a great view.

    A very beautiful palace, superbly furnished. You can also admire it from the outside during your visit. The best part is the 360-degree view of Saida from the terrace of the Palace tower.

    It's a little difficult to find the entrance. A mansion built during the Ottoman period in the city of Sayda. Although it is called a palace, it is just a large mansion. You can see the entire Mediterranean view from its roof. There are portraits of the person who built it, his library and various musical instruments. Likewise, old furniture and belongings remain. A very nice and enjoyable place. Entrance fee is 1.5 dollars. You can easily visit it in approximately 45 minutes.

    A must see not only Saida but in Lebanon. A beautiful house built for the Ottoman ruler of the time. The house was eventually sold to the Debane family and they have done a wonderful job of maintaining its original beauty. Do not skip it.

    There was some restoration work happening so not all of the historic home was accessible. The rooms and terrace were lovely. Open and airy salons are quiet and relaxing even though just outside is a busy market. The details such as the tile work, the wooden ceiling panels and the furniture are subtle and add an air of grace to this beauty.

    Very small museum, they provide some explanation but not a lot. You enter and walk around to see an ottoman-style mansion. Beautiful for pictures.

    It holds a lot of history. All the furniture is from the olden days and many of the house items are showcased such instruments and guns. It's an interesting place however I wasn't entertained much and that might be due to my personal preference. At Nov,2022 the entrance for adults is 50,000 lira, around 1.2 dollars

    The entrance fee is variable depending on the age; it is for 5,000 LL for adults. This place is 300 years old while its furniture is 100 years old. It looks really nice and it’s worth visiting! You can get a top view of the city of Saïda from the roof!
