I miss Lebanon so I will create a thread with all my favorite photos. nothing beats a sunset over the Mediterranean

the Kahlil Gibran museum in Bcharre with Gibran’s furniture, books, paintings, and his final resting place
more pictures of Bcharre. you can see St. Saba Church in the first and second photo and the Sacred Heart Church in the third
Baalbek, the Sun City. home to two of the largest Roman temple ruins, the Temple of Bacchus and the Temple or Jupiter. these are some photos of the Temple or Bacchus. I need EVERYONE to look at those details!!!
Baalbek is by far one of my favorite places in Lebanon. the grandness of the ruins is very overwhelming and honestly can’t be felt by just looking at photos
Byzantine-style Melkite Greek Catholic Basilica of St. Paul in Harissa, not far from Our Lady of Lebanon
Sidon Sea Castle, built by the crusaders in the 13th century as a fortress of the holy land. built on the site of a former temple dedicated to Melqart, the tutelary god of the Phoenician city of Tyre
St. John the Baptist church in Byblos. construction started during the crusades in 1116, partially destroyed in 1176 by an earthquake
St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in downtown Beirut. by far one of my favorite churches in Lebanon. there’s an AMAZING archeological crypt museum underneath the church with Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Medieval, & Ottoman artifacts
Greek Orthodox monastery of Our Lady of Nourieh (Our Lady of the Light) in Hamat. said to be built in the 4th century by two sailors. they were caught in a stormy sea & started praying, when the Virgin appeared to them as a light and guided them to the shore of modern-day Chekka
paragliding over Jounieh Bay. definitely one of my favorite moments in Lebanon. such an adrenaline rush with amazing views
