1. Gibran Museum

The museum consists of various sketches and paintings of Khalil Gibran. We can also find here some objects that belonged to him, and some of his letters. Definitely the best moment of the visit is when you can sit in the crypt where the greatest Lebanese poet is buried. Do it with one of his books in your hand... after a while you will understand better his epitaph "I am alive like you / and I now stand beside you / close your eyes and look / around you you will see me / in front of you". NB No photography nor filming is allowed inside the museum.

Set in a deep valley this monastery is more or less carved into the rock face. There is a functional church which is partly a cave and there is also a museum with an old printing press once used for printing Syriac or Aramaic A nice lady by the name of Natalie will greet you in reception. Once the formalities are over you take a lift to the accommodation. (They do have a lift!) The rooms are nice as are the bathrooms. Being January, the rooms were well heated. Downstairs was the restaurant which served very good meals plus you could buy your own wine from the shop. If you are religious you can attend the services in the church. If not, the monks won't bother you. When I got up in the morning and walked out for a smoke, the staff served me a Lebanese coffee! The views are stunning and it is all very quiet! Great place! .

It is one of many similar beautiful churches around Lebanon. It is nicely located close to the harbour. If you walk around a little bit, you may catch very nice views on the facade from there. The entrance is free of charge. Worth visiting if you are in Al Batroun.

It is well preserved Hammam. It does not work anymore, but you can visit it free of charge. It seems like it could work again without any difficulty, it is all preserved in a very good condition. Look at the ceilings and domes - they are fascinating!
