It is situated within Byblos’ captivating archaeological site, which includes the ruins of the Temple of Baalat Gebal and the Temple of the Obelisks. This remarkable structure provides a stunning view over the ruins from the top of its square keep. Below the walls, a series of Bronze Age dwellings can be seen as you gaze towards the sea.

- Byblos Port - Byblos Port is an ancient harbor in Byblos, believed by the Lebanese to be the oldest port in the world. Around 3000 BC, it was the most significant timber shipping hub in the eastern Mediterranean.
- Temples of Baalbek - The temple complex at Baalbek is situated at the base of the southwest slope of Anti-Lebanon, adjacent to the fertile Bekaa plain at an elevation of 1150 meters. Baalbek flourished during Roman times, with its monumental constructions spanning over two centuries, making it one of the most renowned sanctuaries of the Roman world and a prime example of Imperial Roman architecture. Pilgrims flocked to the sanctuary to honor the three deities, known as the Romanized Triad of Heliopolis, a primarily Phoenician cult (Jupiter, Venus, and Bacchus).
- Sayyida Khawla Shrine - The Mosque of Sayyida Khawla in Baalbek, Lebanon, is built on the site where Sayyida Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is believed to be buried. The people of Baalbek hold that when the caravan of Karbala captives passed through Baalbek, Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, passed away and was interred there.
- Stone of the Pregnant Woman - The Stone of the Pregnant Woman is a crafted Roman monolith in Baalbek, Lebanon. Alongside another ancient stone block nearby, it ranks among the largest monoliths ever quarried. These two building blocks were likely intended for the nearby Roman temple complex and are distinguished by their unparalleled monolithic gigantism in antiquity.
