Hotels in Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate, Lebanon

Keserwan-Jbeil Governorate hugs Lebanon's Mediterranean coast north of Beirut, famous for ancient Byblos (Jbeil), one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities dating back to 5000 BC. Summers are hot and dry (80-90°F / 27-32°C), ideal for swimming at Byblos sandy beaches or kayaking in the clear waters of the Nahr Ibrahim River, while winters are cool and rainy (40-55°F / 4-13°C), perfect for exploring the Roman ruins and the Crusader castle at Byblos without the crowds. The governorate splits into coastal towns like Jounieh with its lively nightlife and the quieter mountain villages like Faraya, where in winter you can ski at Mzaar Ski Resort and in summer hike the Cedars of God forest.
