Byblos, is the Greek name for the Phoenician city of Gebal, currently under the Arabic name Jbeil. It is believed to have been founded around 5000 BC and is the first city ever built and is considered the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the World.
This is a photo of the Lebanese flag in Byblos city, representing the Cedar tree which makes up Lebanon's landscape. Unfortunately, deforestation has destroyed 70% of Lebanon's Cedar trees. However one Cedar tree reserve still exists in the center of the Country... Still to be discovered....
