It's NO SECRET by now how much I love Jbeil!! It's one of the world’s oldest cities, and has always been one of my favorite cities in Lebanon which we visit very often.
I've already shared with you my Review: Family Getaway in Byblos Jbeil!
There are so many things to do with your family in this beautiful CITY especially when the weather is great!! No need for a weekend stay if you don't wish to....so here’s a small post to highlight some of the things that you can do there....

There are so many things to do with your family in this beautiful CITY especially when the weather is great!! No need for a weekend stay if you don't wish to....so here’s a small post to highlight some of the things that you can do there....
What to DO!!
I know it's hard to leave the house early (GOD knows how many times we tried and failed!!) However, if you managed to make it early there, then visiting this amazing archaeological Castle is a must!!
PS: make sure you are wearing super comfortable shoes and cloth..lots of walking required, but trust me it is worth it!

Crusader Castle, the Roman Theater, Roman columns and all the past generations that passed through here! Entrance Fee: 5000/adults on weekday & 8,000/ adult on weekend (kids for Free)
If you prefer to keep the Castle for when you are staying overnight then skip it and go directly to the OLD SOUKS...
The old souks connect the center of the city to the sea side and it's packed with restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. This rustic souk is stunning, and will transport you back to the time when Phoenician royalties roamed the street. great artists to check out along the way!! You can either take a calm walk during the day or wait till the afternoon as it gets really packed.
There's lots of beautiful churches and a mosque to visit...Saint John the Baptist Church - the ancient Our Lady of Deliverance Church- the Sultan Abdel Majid Mosque, along to the wax museum and a public library! Not forgetting, lots of iconic traditional and old Lebanese houses that add beauty to this magical place!

IF you get tired from walking, or just want a small refreshing break before you go in then passing by this GARDEN is a MUST!! You will feel as if you stepped out of the city and entered an enchanted place!! Secluded, calm, surrounded by trees, birds, cats and a small water fountain!!
Sea port...
If who enjoy the sea, you can head down to the Byblos port take a boat trip for 1 hour and enjoy the fun ride!
Lunch!!
