The LAU Louis Cardahi Foundation in Jbeil occupies a historic house above the old town of Byblos and hosts cultural events tied to the Lebanese American University. It is a museum and foundation space in a city of ruins: a place for exhibitions, talks and a view over the harbour and Sea Castle. Opening depends on the programme, so check before a special visit. The stop adds a contemporary cultural layer to the Roman columns, the souk and the churches. For travellers who want Byblos beyond antiquities, the Cardahi house is the address to know.
