Flying above Harissa
Harissa sits on the mountain shoulder above Jounieh, home to the Our Lady of Lebanon shrine and the teleferique that climbs from the coast. It's one of the most recognisable views in Lebanon — and it looks completely different from the air.
Our tandem flights take off from Ghosta, a few minutes above Harissa in the Keserwan mountains. From launch you follow the ridge line, with the statue, the bay, the marina and the coastline unfolding beneath you, before a gentle landing in Jounieh.
Your Harissa flight, step by step
Paragliding Harissa — FAQ
Can you go paragliding in Harissa, Lebanon?
Yes. Tandem flights take off from Ghosta in the Keserwan mountains, just above Harissa, and glide past Our Lady of Lebanon and Jounieh Bay before landing in Jounieh.
Do you fly over the Harissa statue?
Flights follow the Keserwan ridge above Harissa, so you get panoramic views of Our Lady of Lebanon, the teleferique line and the whole bay from the air, weather permitting.
How much time should I plan for a Harissa paragliding flight?
Plan about 30 minutes from briefing to landing, plus a short drive between the Ghosta take-off and the Jounieh landing area.
Is any experience needed to paraglide in Harissa?
No. Every flight is a tandem flight with a BHPA certified pilot who handles take-off, the flight and the landing. You just walk a few steps and enjoy the view.
When is the best time to paraglide over Harissa?
Flights run year-round when the weather allows. Spring through autumn offers the most stable conditions, and late afternoon gives the best light over Jounieh Bay.
