1. Saint Charbel Statue
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 20 reviews
Reviewed By monal278 - Sydney, Australia
A father promised St Charbel to build a statue for him if he cures his son and when the miracle happened the father fulfilled his promise and placed the statue on the highest point of Faraiya. So besides the beautiful hills, the amazing views from the top, the fresh clean crisp air, the place has a very spiritual feel with peace and calm taking over your feelings regardless of your religion and believes. Road is a bit windy at the end but local drivers seem to be OK with it and know how to maneuver around the bends.
2. Monastery of St. Maron Annaya

Reviewed By johndA7803EA - New York City, United States
The convent hosts the tomb and life of Saint Charbel, the most famous of Lebanese Saints. His reputation is world-wide which led Saint Patrick Cathedral to host a shrine in his name inside the Cathedral in New York City. To visit the place where he lived and walked is a mesmerizing experience. After you visit, you regain an inner peace no matter what religion you belong to. Visiting the solitary place where he spent most of his life praying in solitary is a must stop as well. It’s a short drive away on a hilltop with amazing views, not to mention the deep emotional move when you contemplate the tiny room where Saint Charbel spent most of his life till he died. No visit to Lebanon is complete without a visit to Annaya.

Reviewed By marcaK3670LP
This roman/byzantine temple is still in good condition. The best part is that it is surrounded by the beautiful nature of Kfardebian. There is just so much to do there. Next to the temple, you can find even more interesting ruins. Also, during the summer, Kfardebian village holds an annual international concert. Worth going! Beautiful stage (check pictures).

6. Old Souk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 585 reviews
Reviewed By solotraveler96 - Ajman, United Arab Emirates
A quaint souk, with scattered coffee shops and restaurants, you can find lots of souvenirs, and personalized gift ideas, towards the end (closer to the sea) of the souk there is an old church (ND de la porte, the Gate’s lady), and as you continue down towards the mina (port) you will find some shops that sell fossils, and another small old church (lady of deliverance). Continue your walk down to the pier by the port where you will find lots of nice seafood restaurants. Fishermen are often working peacefully by the water or fishing. You can take a boat ride in the water too. Walk around the hotel “byblos sur mer”(they have a nice not expensive breakfast buffet even if you don’t stay there, with a view of the port and the sea) and back up towards the souk and there on your left is a public rock beach, and other restaurants. The perfect walk any time day or night.

I love to visit it and watch the sunset, it's a great place, very peaceful and has a nice mountain view. It has a long history and you can feel a special energy. NB: parents should accompany their kids because the road is a bit slippery.
