Why Jounieh is Lebanon's best paragliding spot

Jounieh Bay sits at the foot of the Mount Lebanon range, creating a natural wind corridor that paragliders have loved since the 1990s. The launch site at Ghosta, near Harissa, sits 650 metres above sea level — high enough to catch reliable thermals while keeping the coastline and city in perfect view throughout your flight.

What makes this location extraordinary is the combination of mountain, religious landmark, and sea all visible in a single flight. You'll pass within metres of the Our Lady of Lebanon statue at Harissa before gliding down over the rooftops of Jounieh and touching down near the bay.
