Janouh

Janouh is a coastal village located in the Byblos District of the Mount Lebanon Governorate in Lebanon. Situated north of Beirut, it is known for its scenic beauty and proximity to the ancient city of Byblos. The area features a rugged coastline with several small beaches and rocky outcrops, popular for recreational activities such as swimming and fishing.

Historically, Janouh has been a settlement with roots tracing back centuries. Like much of the Lebanese coast, it has likely seen periods of Phoenician, Roman, and Ottoman influence, though specific historical records for Janouh are less extensive than for larger nearby cities. The local economy traditionally relies on small-scale agriculture, particularly olive and citrus cultivation, and increasingly on tourism.

The landscape surrounding Janouh is characterized by hillsides dotted with olive groves and pine trees. The village itself is a mix of traditional stone houses and more modern constructions. Its location provides panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. The village is accessible via coastal roads that connect it to other towns and cities in the region. Efforts have been made to preserve the natural environment and develop sustainable tourism in the area.
