    • Favorite Thing: Lebanon don't have many public beaches. Just south of the town Jbail (Byblos) there are the sandy beaches Tam-Tam and Paradise.
    To go here from Beirut you can take a bus going north from Charles Helou Station and ask to be dropped at the beaches. From the highway there is a road going down the slope to the sea.

    • Favorite Thing: To the east of the highway is the modern town of Jbail. On the other side, on the slope down to the see, is the old picturesque town with small shops, the harbour and the archaeological site. Old Byblos is on UNESCOs World Heritage List.

    • Favorite Thing: When you are going to explore the historical site the Crusader Castle is a good place to start at as there is a beautiful view over the area and the sea from the roof.
    When the castle was built in the 12th century by the Franks blocks from the ancient temples were used.

    • Favorite Thing: The squared foundation in the middle are the ruins of Temple of Baalat Gebal which is the oldest temple at Byblos. It is from the 4th millenium BC. The temple was important until Roman times.
    Close to the sea there is a house built during the Ottoman period.

    • Favorite Thing: The harbour might be one of the oldest in the world. From here the famous Lebanese ceder was shipped to other towns during ancient time.
    There are small fishing boats and a few boats for sight-seeing. Around the harbour are some restaurants and a hotel.
