Old Souk in Byblos, Lebanon
One of the best tourist spots in Lebanon is Byblos, in Jbeil district, northeast of Beirut. Not only is it visited by travelers but it’s also part of the weekend plans of most locals. This Mediterranean city is always teeming with activity and the souk is never empty of people.
To understand why the souk is so important, one must also look back at the city’s history. Byblos was an important site for civilizations like the Phoenicians and the Greeks. Its historical remnants are made up of layers and layers of ruins accumulated from the Stone Age. Some of these sites include various ancient churches, a castle and a beautiful harbor. It’s no wonder then that Byblos was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984.
The most important tourist spots of the bunch is the old souk. Built during the Ottoman reign, the market is a show of their economic spirit. It was made up of several khans (inns), shops and horse stables.
Today, the souk is filled with small local shops that sell souvenirs, local crafts and various other merchandise. There are also cozy bars and cafes littered along the walk, waiting for you to go in. The scene shifts from day to night as during the day you may find tourists and school children on a field trip exploring. At night, however, the place changes and most bars look like a dream venue for a night out.
Jbeil in general is always a fun place to visit, as it is home to the Lebanese American University and a lot of national events. For example the city has been a top contender year after year for the best Christmas tree in Lebanon. It is also relatively small and worth a walk around. Discover the various alleyways and ancient sites as this is one place you’ll never get enough of.

The souk at Byblos, Lebanon
The souk at Byblos is a bit of a honey trap for tourists. It also contains the rather small Fossil Museum. The souk is adjacent to the crusader castle. I filmed this in December 2010. traveltalesandnotes.blogspot.com

Byblos - جبيل - Jbeil (Liban / Lebanon / لبنان)
Byblos (βύβλος) is the Greek name of the Phoenician city Gebal (earlier Gubla). It is a Mediterranean city in the Mount Lebanon Governorate of present-day Lebanon under the current Arabic name of Jbeil (جبيل Ǧubayl). According to fragments attributed to the semi-legendary pre-Trojan war Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, it was the first city ever built, and even today is believed by many to be the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world
It was known to the ancient Egyptians as Keben and Kepen (probably pronounced */g-b-l/ or Gubla). The Greeks apparently called it Byblos because it was through Gebal that bublos (βύβλος [Egyptian papyrus]) was imported into Greece. Although it is still referred to as Byblos by scholars, the city is now known by the Arabic name Jubayl or Jbeil (جبيل), a direct descendant of the Canaanite name.
جبيل (أو بيبلوس ) هي مدينة فينيقية يطلق عليها حاليا جبيل علي ساحل البحر الأبيض المتوسط شمال بيروت بلبنان. وأطلق عليها الآشوريون والبابليون جبلة، بينما يرد اسمها بالعبرية في الكتاب المقدس: גְבַל (گـْڤال). وكانت ميناءا هاما للتبادل التجاري مع مصر في العصر البرونزي حيث كانت تستورد منه خشب الأرز ق.م. وكانت بيبلوس أهم ميناء لدي الفينيقيين. وكانت مصر تصدر إليه ورق البردى ومنه كانوا يصدرونه لبلاد الإغريق. واشتهرت بيبلوس بصناعة السفن الفينيقية من خشب أشجار الأرز وصناعة الفخار فوق الدولاب (العجلة). عثر بها علي معبد بعلة جيل ربة بيبلوس ومعابد أخري ومسرح روماني مدرج وحمامات.
Byblos ou Biblos (appelée aussi Goubla dans les textes cunéiformes, Βύϐλος en grec ancien, Gebal dans l'Ancien Testament, Giblet pendant les croisades, Jbeil en arabe1) est une ville libanaise située à 37 km au nord de Beyrouth. Avec son antique port de pêche, son site romain et son château croisé, Byblos est une des vieilles villes du monde continuellement habitée. Ce fut également un lieu de rencontre éminemment à la mode pour la jet set du monde entier avant la guerre civile
Byblos (griech. Βύβλος, assyrisch Gubla, arabisch: جبيل Dschubail) ist eine antike phönizische Hafenstadt. Sie liegt nördlich von Beirut, am Mittelmeer, im heutigen Libanon.
