Perched in the hills of Freike, the Ameen Rihani Museum occupies the writer's restored family home. Visitors can wander through rooms filled with personal belongings, first editions, and manuscripts that trace Rihani's journey as a pioneer of Arab-American literature. The museum also showcases his role in bridging East and West, with exhibits on his travels and political activism. The tranquil setting, with a garden and views over Jounieh, adds to the reflective experience.
