The location of Bab El Mina Guesthouse is truly unique and nestled in the heart of the oldest city in the world, which has been ruled and governed by kings as well as great historical figures. As you walk around its vast ramparts, you feel the soul and grandeur of this place steeped in history. Surrounded by numerous churches and mosques, close to one of the oldest citadels and several museums, Byblos has accumulated a lot of fame. Inspired by this rich heritage, we named our rooms after three of the most known Phoenician kings: Hiram, Ashmun, and Cadmus.
