Launch from Harissa and glide above the Mediterranean to land in the old city of Jounieh. Short 15–20 minute flights reach about 750 meters and provide sweeping coastal views—ideal for first-time flyers and families with children aged four and up.

Stand on the ridge above Jounieh as the wind gathers and the statue of Our Lady of Lebanon watches—then launch. Gravity’s certified pilots clip you in, check the wing, and you step into a view that flips the coastline into a living map: terraced hills, the glitter of the Mediterranean, and the winding spine of the coastal highway below. The city shrinks; the sea calls.
