At the Temple of Bacchus - two faithful followers......

On Sunday morning we went to church at St. George's Maronite Cathedral after which we had a wander round Beirut City Centre.

The village of Deir al Qamar in the mountains to the south of Beirut
The Church at Deir al Qammar

After driving back to Beirut we climbed up to Harisa, above Jounieh, to visit the statue of Our Lady of Lebanon: there were huge crowds there as Sunday was a national holiday
From the top of the hill you have stunning views of Beirut and the coast: this one is looking south
......and this one is looking north
On Monday, our last day, we drove south to visit Tyre and Sidon:
The hippodrome at Tyre - the largest Roman hippodrome in the world
One of the reconstructed spectators stands at the hippodrome at Tyre
The Sea Castle at Sidon
