Our Lady of Lebanon in Harissa is a revered Marian shrine offering breathtaking panoramic views of Jounieh Bay, easily accessible by car, taxi, or the scenic Téléférique (cable car) from Jounieh. It is ideal for solo visits, though guides can offer deeper context. Open year-round, the best experience is on clear days for optimal views; winter can be chilly but still accessible. While the shrine itself is free to enter, expect transportation costs, particularly for the cable car (typically $5-10 USD round trip), and minimal parking fees. A typical visit lasts 1-2 hours, allowing time to appreciate the iconic statue, the basilica, and the stunning scenery. Visitors should dress modestly. This major pilgrimage site provides both spiritual reflection and spectacular photo opportunities.
