Where we are
Sahel Alma, Jounieh — on the slope between the coast road and Harissa.
High enough to see the whole bay
Sahel Alma is the hillside village directly above Jounieh. You are minutes from the marina and the restaurants along the water, and far enough up the slope that the noise stays down there.
Approximate driving times
- From Beirut airport
- About 45 minutes — Rafic Hariri International, south of the city.
- To Jounieh bay & marina
- A few minutes downhill — restaurants, the seafront and the port.
- To Harissa
- About 10 minutes — Our Lady of Lebanon, also reached by the téléphérique from Jounieh.
- To Casino du Liban
- About 15 minutes — at Kfar Yassine, roughly 6 km along the bay.
- To Byblos
- About 30 minutes — roughly 30 km further up the coast.
What is around you
Jounieh is the busiest stretch of the Keserwan coast: a working marina, a long seafront of restaurants and cafés, and the téléphérique that lifts you from the bay up to the shrine at Harissa in a few minutes.
Sahel Alma itself is quieter — a hillside village of stone houses and convents that looks down on all of it. Beirut is close enough for a day, Byblos close enough for an afternoon, and the mountains behind you open up in winter.
