Jounieh

Jounieh's setting is still one of the most beautiful along the Lebanese coast. For the best view of the crescent-shaped bay, take the steep cable car (telepherique) up to Harissa. (The station is in the middle of Jounieh, between the highway and the old coastal road.) At the other end of the cable car line you transfer to an incline car, which takes you up to the lookout point surrounding the shiny, white statue of the Virgin of Lebanon. If you want to go still higher, you can climb the ramp around the statue's base—the closer you come to her lowered, outstretched hands, the narrower the ramp becomes? and the pushier the people get. The view is spectacular, though, and the virgin, seen from close up, has a sweet, sad charm all her own. On your way to or from Jounieh you can stop off at Nahr al-Kalb (the Dog River) to view the inscriptions carved into the river-gorge walls by a long line of conquering armies. Jounieh is 15 mi/20 km north of Beirut.
