Not bad for a 7,000-year-old city.<br \/>  <br \/>  Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.  With its souks, ancient archaeological sites, the Phoenician harbor and all the freaking awesome architecture, we can&#8217;t get enough of this historical city. <br \/>  <br \/>  Still not convinced Byblos is one of the best effing places ever?
