Jbeil, also known as Byblos, is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, offering a captivating journey through time. Its archaeological site unveils layers of history, from Phoenician ruins and Roman structures to medieval remnants. The city's ancient port played a pivotal role in trade and cultural exchange, giving rise to the term "biblion," from which the word "Bible" originates due to the city's production of papyrus. Today, Jbeil's old town entices visitors with its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and the iconic Byblos Castle overlooking the sea. The city's vibrant arts scene is showcased through galleries and cultural events like the Byblos International Festival. Jbeil's seamless integration of its rich past with modern life provides a remarkable experience for history aficionados and curious travelers alike.
