Image is a photo panoramic from the top of the Byblos Citadel looking South and West. The Beirut skyline is visible and the sun is setting.
40km north of Beirut is the city of Jbeil aka Byblos. Continuously occupied since 5000 BCE I learned a lot at the Byblos Citadel. A nice feature is they segmented several parts of the space and highlighted the different eras that had built on top of the same land. Walking around the land you also saw tools and techniques evolve over the years. I love this picture because you can faintly see the Beirut skyline in the distance. I reflect on how important this stretch of waterfront has been in history.
