Byblos (Jbeil) in Beirut — view 2
Byblos, known as Jbeil in Arabic, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with archaeological remains dating back to the Neolithic period. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, featuring a mix of ancient ruins, including Roman temples, Crusader castles, and a charming medieval old town that leads to a picturesque harbour. Exploring Byblos' vibrant souks and waterfront is a must, particularly during the cooler months when the weather is pleasant. The site also hosts a range of cultural festivals, making it worthwhile to check the local calendar. The seaside promenade offers a relaxing spot to watch fishing boats as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.
