Saint Charbel Statue

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.

Zaitunay Bay

The Zaitunay Bay certainly exceeds all expectations and transcends the national borders to further polish Lebanon’s image and allow it to assume its rightful position as a touristic destination, but more importantly, as an exclusive and luxurious destination rivaling the best the world has to offer. Being the go-to place for all the Lebanese, Zaitunay Bay also inevitably is a prominent touristic destination. A must-see destination offering an array of various, cultural, leisure and social activities which finally brings back those faded photographs of Lebanon into the new millennium.

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.

Faqra Temple

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).

Mussaylha Fort

Reviewed By dmittleman - Palm Beach Gardens, United States

This fort is strategically located at an obvious access point. Often times, an antique fort seems to loose it's sense of place and purpose. Not so with this fort. It's obvious how important it was. Standing atop a lone rocky outcrop, it's worthwhile to climb to the top for great views.

Hajar al-Hibla

Reviewed By AnonymousZ1234 - Somerset, United Kingdom

This was a recommendation to visit - and it is a must see if you are in the area. The quarry, the huge stone and the tombs and above all the story which goes with it of one man's struggle against bureaucracy to do what is right. If you love Roman remains it's great but if you like a human interest story and to support maintaining our world heritage visit the site and support the guy who is running it himself.

Sidon Souks

Reviewed By halcatra - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

It is a very nice, traditional Arabic souk. You can find a little bit of everything, clothes, souvenirs, local products, food, etc. For us it was the first souk we visited in Lebanon but not the last. It is a great labyrinth where you can get lost and found many times.
