Jbeil, also known as Byblos, is a historic city on the Mediterranean coast of Lebanon, about 40 kilometers north of the capital Beirut. One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, Jbeil dates back to 7000 BC and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city is known as an important port for the ancient Phoenician civilization and was once the center of the Egyptian papyrus trade, with the word "Byblos" deriving from the Greek word for "papyrus".
