Fortress of Niha

Reviewed By nancyperlak - Lebanon, null

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.

Commemorative Stelae of Nahr El-Kalb

Reviewed By LifestyleOfaVeggie - Beirut, Lebanon

If there is a place to visit in order to understand a bit of Lebanese History, the Stelae of Nahr el Kaleb is the place. Under the efforts of Unesco, the site has been renovated. Unfortunately, there is no offices representing the ministry of tourism, the guardian of the site stays all day in his car, the place is dirty and not safe. How could a government leave a place like this to rotten? This site witnessed the passage of every conqueror who passed through Lebanon. From Ramses to Napoleon and so many others. It needs urgent care and it needs to raise awareness around it and it needs to be respected and visited and cared for.

Byblos Citadel

Reviewed By VincefromAmersfoort - Amersfoort, The Netherlands

The citadel of Byblos is, in my opinion, one of the more beautfull places in Lebanon. There is such an variety of incredible and worth visiting places in the citadel, that you really need to see this and reserve some time if you visit Byblos. It's also really easy to visit if you are staying in Beirut.
