8 great places to watch the sunset in Lebanon

8 years ago

Here are 8 of our suggestions for the country's best sunset-watching spots.
1. Amrieh (abandoned hotel), Bikfaya

Once a top-tier destination for tourists and travelers, the past few decades have left the abandoned hotel empty and decaying. However, the incredible view of Lebanon and the sea laid out below hasn't been diminished one bit.

2. Harissa, Mount Lebanon
Enjoy the telefèric ride up from Jounieh and watch the sunset beneath the gentle waves below you.

3. Four Seasons Rooftop, Beirut
Remember to reserve in advance and be sure to request a window seat view. Then wine and dine as the last rays of daylight fade away.

4. The beach, Batroun
After a long and relaxing day at the beach, there is nothing quite like watching the sun slip away as you revel in its final light.

5. Capitole, Beirut
Another one of Beirut's great rooftop destinations, make sure to reserve just before sunset so you can enjoy your dinner and drinks as you bathe in the golden and pink rays.

6. Qornet El Sawda, Bsharreh
Where better to watch the daylight disappear than from the highest peak in Lebanon? You can even bring your own shisha if you'd like.

7. Byblos Port
Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the entire world, so as you sit by the port and watch the sun slip below the water.

8. Saida Seaside
The sunset, the sea, and the castle. Does it really get much more storybook romantic than that?
