Surroundings
The Lebanese Coast:
Framed by the Mediterranean Sea to the west and Mount Lebanon (Mont Liban) to the east, the Lebanese Coast's temperate climate brings sunny, hot summers and cool, rainy winters. The average summer daytime temperature is 30°C (86°F), motivating you to head to the beach or for higher ground, to the altitude-cooled mountain slopes. In the coastal cities of Saïda (Sidon) and Jbeil (Byblos), tourists can enjoy the rare opportunity to snorkel amongst long-submerged Phoenician ruins, while excellent hiking is a mere hour away in the Chouf region of the Mount Lebanon Range.
Jounieh Bay (Juniyah)
Once a small, quiet town, Jounieh (Juniyah) has since the 1970's, grown into a densely built-up area of high-rise buildings, hotels and large resort complexes. Its beautiful bay, lined with palm trees, excellent restaurants, glitzy night spots and shopping attract visitors from all over the world. It is known to many as one of the best places to stay on the lebanese coast
Historical & Cultural Attractions:
Despite the development in the region, a traditional flavor remains: 200 of Jounieh's old houses and the old souk have been earmarked for preservation. The Mameltein (Maameltein) district is saturated with museums and religio-historical sites such as the: Zouk Mkayel, Darbessama, Mamletein Bridge, Virgin Mary Harissa, Grotto of St. George, Church of St. Paul, Vatican Embassy, Sayidet el Maounet Catholic Monastery, St. Antione Monastery, St. Michael's Church, etc …
