Highlights

Qadisha Valley - Qadisha Valley is a significant site for the earliest Christian monasteries globally, with many ancient monasteries set in a remarkably rugged landscape. The valley includes all the caves, monasteries, and cultivated terraces linked to early Christian activities.

Bcharre - Bcharre is home to the last remaining original Cedars of God and is the birthplace of renowned poet, painter, and sculptor Khalil Jubran, who is honored with a museum in the town. Additionally, Bcharre hosts the oldest skiing area, the Cedars Ski Resort, and Lebanon’s first ski lift, built in 1953. The town is often referred to as “the city of churches” due to its 37 churches.

Deir Qozhaya - The Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great is located 950 meters above sea level in the famous Valley of Qozhaya. The surrounding hills are covered with pine and oak trees, and the valley is filled with various fruit trees, extending into the Valley of Qannubin to form the great Qadisha Valley. This area reflects the history of eremitic life and the pursuit of holiness in Lebanon. Historians believe the monastery was first built and occupied by hermits in the early fourth century. Despite being looted, burned, and destroyed multiple times, remnants from the seventh century still exist.

The Cedars of God - The Forest of the Cedars of God, with its 375 trees, is the last remnant of ancient forests and one of the few places where Cedars still grow. Highly valued in ancient times, Cedar wood was a prized material for constructing significant religious buildings and is mentioned 103 times in the Bible. The Cedar is a national symbol of Lebanon, proudly displayed on the Lebanese flag.
