[High-Res]
It’s the month of May and Lebanese traditionally go to pay Our Lady of Harissa a visit during that period. Even if you are not religious, you can also go up and enjoy the breath-taking view from the shrine and its surrounding. If you don’t feel like driving, you can take the Teleferique. Gino tells you all about it.
Harissa is one of my favorite places in Lebanon along with the Cedars and Saydit el Nourieh in Chekka Hamat.

Saydet l nourieh is not in Chekka, it’s in Hamat.
Well they are next to each other but I’ll update it. Thanks.
one more great place to see, saydit el darje, few kms just before saydit el nourie! i am sure you will love there.

Harissa is Lebanon’s jewel
I love this place. Thanks for the pics!
BTW, my dad helped build the basilica there back in the late 80’s! It’s a pretty radical design. Here’s a cool pic I found on flickr:
