Jounieh, the city of ancient civilizations and a modern business center for the today visionary entrepreneur, is located on the majestic Bay Of Jounieh on the sea coast of the Mediterranean. Jounieh, only 15 km north of Beirut the Capital of Lebanon, lies the port town of Jounieh, in the Keserwan region.
Jounieh, 18 km north of Beirut, the playground of the Middle East as described by "The Washington Post" few years ago. The city Jounieh offers some of the best of Lebanon in the categories such as hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, cinemas, nightclubs, cabarets, sports clubs, beach clubs, amusement centers, art galleries, etc. Scores of restaurants, pubs and night clubs line the old bay side road from Jounieh northward to Mameltein. The area is crowded with fun seekers every night of the week and packed on weekends. The jewel of the area is perched atop a cliff overlooking the bay which is the Casino Du Liban.
Greeting sea fares to the Port of Jounieh is Our Lady of Harissa, a white-washed statue towering above the area from its 600 meter high mountain perch. The Basilica and statue are accessible from Jounieh via the Telepherique, which is open all year round.
In Jounieh, during the summer season, a night time ascent and descent gives you a great sparkling view of the Jounieh and bay area. The mountain terminal features a gift shop and restaurant. Before entering Jounieh on the road from Beirut, you cross the Dog River or Lycos of the ancients. Here on the rock face are a series of carved reliefs recording the passage of numerous ancient armies and rulers.
