Churches of Harissa - Harissa is a prominent Christian pilgrimage location featuring a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Lebanon. The site is marked by a large 15-ton bronze and painted white statue of the Virgin Mary, known as Our Lady of Lebanon or Notre Dame du Liban, with outstretched arms. This statue, created at the end of the 19th century and inaugurated in 1908, houses a small chapel at its base. Additionally, a grand cathedral made of concrete and glass stands nearby. Other churches in the Harissa area include the Byzantine-style Melkite Greek Catholic basilica of St. Paul, located south of the statue and constructed between 1948 and 1998, the Apostolic Nunciature (Papal Embassy), and the residences of four patriarchs of Eastern Catholic Churches.

Téléferique Harissa - The Telepherique is one of Lebanon’s oldest and most popular tourist attractions. This gondola lift system, located in Jounieh, 16 km north of Beirut, transports visitors over a pine-forested steep mountain to an altitude of 650 meters, arriving at the Our Lady of Lebanon shrine in Harissa. It offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Jounieh and the surrounding city.

Baatara Gorge Waterfall - The Baatara Gorge Waterfall, also known as Balou’ Bala’a, is a spectacular natural wonder located in Tannourine, north Lebanon. Discovered by Henri Coiffait in 1952 and fully mapped in the 1980s, it is also referred to as the Cave of Three Bridges. Visitors must walk 300 meters into Tannourine to reach this site, which is well worth the effort. The gorge features three natural bridges that span its width, providing an adventurous path for tourists. In spring, the waterfall plunges an impressive 255 meters into a natural sinkhole.
