The city of Jounieh has exploded over the last quarter century to become a hub of nightlife and gaming. Located just 10 miles north of the capital city of Beirut, this coastal port town once frequented by the international jet set of the 1960’s and 70’s now serves as a weekend getaway for young and hedonistic urban Lebanese, many of whom can be found in a thumping nightclub on Jounieh’s main drag or at the blackjack table of the historic Casino du Liban.

Art lovers can often be found at the halls of the Lebanese Heritage Museum, the permanent home of Lebanese artifacts dating to the time of the Phoenicians, and if the perfect day in Jounieh involves watching the sunset from a seaside café with an evening coffee, there are sufficient places in town designed for doing just that.
