More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the car at Ghosta, 750 meters above the Mediterranean, and the wind already has ideas. The pilot fits the harness, runs a quick check, and the hillside opens beneath you — terraced pine slopes giving way to the blue sweep of Jounieh Bay. For the next 12–15 minutes the city, the cable car to Harissa and the coastline unfold below; the sea seems to push you forward while the wind cradles the wing.
