Photo: Téléférique, Jounieh-to-Harissa, Lebanon

Harissa, an important Lebanese pilgrimage site to Christians & Muslims alike, is high above Jounieh (located at 650 meters altitude from the coast and 20 km distance from Beirut the capital city). Take an unforgettable nine-minute journey by gondola lift, known as the "Téléférique,” up to Harissa for the BEST views of the Bay of Jounieh and Beirut! The round-trip ride from Jounieh to Harissa on the Téléférique costs only 7,500 LL (Lebanese Lira/Pounds)—about $5.00 USD—and definitely beats the 30-hr. trip by steep, winding road.
