Breathtaking views from the castle. To be able to see something so old still stand and be able to experience it, is just amazing! Definitely recommend a visit if you're in Lebanon. Just get there early so you can take your time going to all the levels.

I really enjoyed our visit here. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. I recommend visiting if you love historical landmarks. There is a small amphitheatre and a few standing columns. The view from the castle is beautiful but would say be careful climbing up and down the stairs the health and safety needs some touch ups.
