    EhmejLebanon18th century

    Nestled high in the rugged cedar-scented mountains of the Byblos District, the Ghostly Church of Ehmej is an abandoned 18th-century stone sanctuary shrouded in sacred mysteries. Built during the Ottoman period by Maronite mountain villagers, the church was abandoned following a tragic mountain feud and subsequent earthquake. Today, hikers and pilgrims report seeing the glowing apparition of a priest praying at the stone altar, accompanied by the sweet aroma of frankincense and distant Aramaic chanting.

    Holiday Inn Hotel Beirut

    BeirutLebanon1974

    Towering 26 storeys above the Minet el-Hosn district of central Beirut, the abandoned Holiday Inn Hotel stands as the most iconic war-ruin in the Middle East. Opened in 1974 during Beirut's golden resort era, the luxurious skyscraper operated for barely a year before becoming the bloody epicenter of the Battle of the Hotels during the Lebanese Civil War. Today, its bullet-riddled, shell-pocked concrete shell along the Green Line is haunted by phantom gunfire, flickering window lights, and disembodied combat shouts.
