Jebel Aabeby, Archaeological site in Sidon, Lebanon.
The excavation site sits on a hill surrounded by Cedar trees, with the Mar Elias monastery positioned on the western side of the summit.
Archaeologists Henri Fleisch, V. Hankey, and Lorraine Copeland conducted extensive excavations at the site during 1965, uncovering numerous Neolithic artifacts.
The location reveals strong connections to the Qaraoun culture through its collection of flint tools, including broad blades, heavy scrapers, and massive cores.
The archaeological site maintains open access for visitors and researchers, located approximately two kilometers southeast of Sidon near the road to Qraye.
The discovered brown Nummulitic Eocene flint tools from this location are preserved in the Museum of Lebanese Prehistory for continued research.
