Jounieh
Beirut, Lebanon
Jounieh is a coastal city located about 16 kilometres north of Beirut, known for its beautiful bay and the lively promenade lined with cafes and shops. The city's history dates back to ancient times, but it gained prominence in the 19th and 20th centuries as a resort destination, featuring a blend of modern architecture and traditional Lebanese charm. The impressive Harissa cable car offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding mountains.
The best time to visit is in spring or autumn, when the temperatures are mild and the atmosphere is pleasant. Explore nearby attractions like the Our Lady of Lebanon statue in Harissa or head to the historic town of Byblos, which is just a short drive away. Keep in mind that Jounieh can get crowded during summer weekends.
