Aabey is a charming hilltop village in the Chouf District, celebrated for its breathtaking panoramic views stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Mount Lebanon range. The village's centerpiece is the Aabey Palace, a 19th-century mansion that once served as a summer residence for local notables and now stands as a cultural landmark. Visitors can explore the palace's restored rooms and courtyard, then walk through the village's narrow streets to discover old churches and traditional houses. The viewpoint near the palace is a favorite spot for photographers, especially at sunset.
