One of the oldest cities in the world, Byblos has a fascinating collection of traces of 17 civilisations in the Mediterranean.
The ruins are a collection of no less than 17 different cultures, remains of neolithic dwellings a mere stone's throw from the Roman theatre, the Crusaders castle just on top of tombs of emperors of Egyptian times. Sometimes, one layer is built on top of another. Within minutes, you can visit an underground royal tomb around 4000 years old, the reconstructed Roman theatre, dramatically on top of a cliff with views of the Mediterranean, and the neolithic huts of around 5000 BCE. From all spots, you can see contrasting modern buildings on the hills leading to the Mt. Lebanon range.
