The ancient Phoenician city of Byblos, also known as Gebal in the Old Testament. A port in Beirut Governorate in western Lebanon, it is probably the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Egyptian papyrus was also called Byblos in Greek, because it was exported from Byblos to the Aegean region. The English name of the Bible is also derived from this. Located 27 km north-northeast of Beirut, it is now just a small fishing port with a population of several thousand. The current name Jubail comes from Gebal in the Bible. Ruins from various periods, from the Neolithic period around 8000 BC, through the Phoenician period, to a Crusader fortress, remain in the area, and the Phoenician period relics are considered to be the best, including inscriptions and documents from around the 10th century BC.

古代のフェニキアの都市ビブロスであり,旧約聖書中のゲバル。レバノン西部,ベイルート県の港で,おそらく現在まで居住が続けられている世界最古の町。エジプト産パピルスはギリシア語でビュブロスとも呼ばれたが,これはビブロスからエーゲ海地方に輸出されていたことによる。聖書の英語名バイブルなどもこれに由来している。ベイルートの北北東 27kmに位置し,現在は人口数千の小さな漁港にすぎない。現在の名称ジュバイルは,聖書のゲバルからきたものである。前 8000年頃の新石器時代の遺跡から,フェニキア時代を経て,十字軍の城塞まで各時代の遺跡が残っており,なかでもフェニキア時代の遺物は,前 10世紀頃の碑文や文書を含めて最もすぐれたものとされている。
