Salama Discusses Shiham’s Tourism Potential
Culture Minister Ghassan Salamé visited the Shheem Palace site and announced that the ministry has received a grant of $435,000 USD to develop the archaeological site, with the aim of preserving cultural heritage and making it an additional tourist destination in Lebanon. The plan includes fencing the site, which spans an area of 25,000 square meters, restoring the Byzantine church, linking the site with historic olive cultivation, and supporting ongoing contemporary projects to ensure their continuation. This initiative aims to boost cultural tourism in the town, which is home to approximately 40,000 to 50,000 residents, along with the Ministry of Culture’s support for local cultural projects.
