Stand on the ridge above Jounieh as the wind gathers and the statue of Our Lady of Lebanon watches—then launch. Gravity’s certified pilots clip you in, check the wing, and you step into a view that flips the coastline into a living map: terraced hills, the glitter of the Mediterranean, and the winding spine of the coastal highway below. The city shrinks; the sea calls.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

Stand on the ridge above Jounieh as the wind gathers and the statue of Our Lady of Lebanon watches—then launch. Gravity’s certified pilots clip you in, check the wing, and you step into a view that flips the coastline into a living map: terraced hills, the glitter of the Mediterranean, and the winding spine of the coastal highway below. The city shrinks; the sea calls.
This route follows a long tradition of coastal flying in Lebanon, where Harissa’s steep limestone slopes and thermals off the sea create reliable lift. Jounieh itself has traded its 19th-century fishing roots for a busy marina and seaside promenades, but the ridge remains a simple geological edge—rocky outcrops giving way to pine and scrub—ideal for short cross-coastal flights. Culturally, a flight here connects shrine and shore: pilots often pass the Our Lady statue en route to a gentle landing in Jounieh’s older quarter.
Expect 15–20 minutes of actual airtime, cruising near 750 meters above sea level, packaged into a 60-minute activity at the office with lockers, coffee, and pre-flight briefings in Arabic, French, and English. The operation welcomes children from age four and keeps equipment and a GoPro-ready camera on hand.
Plan morning flights for calmer air, wear a windproof layer and closed-toe shoes, and disclose your weight during booking. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. With clear weather, this is an accessible, high-adrenaline way to read Lebanon’s coastline from above—short, intense, and extremely visual.
Children from age four can fly tandem with a certified pilot; infants or pregnant travelers are not recommended.
A typical airtime is 15–20 minutes; the full activity including briefing and gear takes about 60 minutes.
Yes—flights are conducted by certified pilots and all necessary equipment, including harness and helmet, is supplied; GoPro video is often included.
Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure; flights may be canceled for bad weather.
