I was born in Hasbaya, and I've lived all my life here. Here's what a beautiful day looks like to me:
Start here
Start your day exactly where the locals do. Grab a zaatar manoushe, fresh and steaming from the Town Bakery. Watch the town wake up as you enjoy this breakfast. Life is goooood :)
Walk around
Ditch the GPS now and wander the narrow streets. Don’t be shy; say "Sabah el Kheir" to the people you pass. You’ll likely get invited for coffee!
Everyone is welcoming and friendly :)
The Town Center
This is the beating heart of Hasbaya. A vibrant square with all kinds of shops.
Don't forget to eat a knefe from Très Jolie to energize before you continue your tour.Â
The Palace
Stroll through the Old Souk until you reach the Chehabi Serail. It is an ancient monument and a touristic attraction. Ask the people there for a recommendation!
Chill mode
Head to Sereno Park by the Hasbani River. It’s the best spot in town to just breathe, relax, and realize you never want to leave.
