Getting There

Taxi

From your current location in Byblos, find a nearby taxi stand or flag down a taxi. Tell the driver you want to go to Bsharri, specifically the Kahlil Gibran Museum. The driver should understand the destination, but it’s helpful to show them the museum's address or website on your phone. The journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic.
Public Bus

Locate the bus station in Byblos, which is typically near the Old Souk. Look for buses heading toward Bsharri. Ensure you ask the conductor if the bus stops at or near the Kahlil Gibran Museum. The bus ride will take about an hour. Upon arrival in Bsharri, ask locals for directions to the museum, which is well-known in the area.
Walking

If you prefer to walk, start from the Byblos castle area and head east towards the main road. Follow the signs to Bsharri or ask locals for directions to the main road leading up the mountain. Be prepared for a long trek, as it's about 15 kilometers away. This route is not recommended for inexperienced walkers, especially due to steep inclines.
