๐Ÿ“œ DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:
========================
The name Douma is of Greek origin meaning “house”, “palace” or ” ๐Ÿ› castle”. Douma is also derived from the Latin word “Doman” used to designate a Queen (Julia Domna) famous for her beauty and intelligence.
Douma’s pronunciation derives as well from the Hebrew language word of “doumah” meaning calm and rest.
Almost all its houses are made of red brick which makes Douma a ๐Ÿงบ famous place. It enjoys a unique temperate climate praised by physicians as the ultimate place of medical refuge.
We will ๐Ÿšถ walk in the old souk of Douma, discover the great landmarks and take a lot of pictures.
We will start the ๐Ÿฅพ hike in Douma and then proceed to Douma el Tahta to visit the Old Landmarks. The view ๐ŸŒซ from up there is breathtaking! It is not to be missed. Afterward, we will head to the Walnut ๐Ÿ’ง River crossing, where ancient sacred ๐Ÿซ’ olive trees and different Phoenician temples ๐Ÿ› await usโ€”such as ๐Ÿ’’ Mar Charbel Monastery. There, we will enjoy the fresh air and ๐Ÿ”ญ observe and taste different old ๐Ÿ’ฆ springs. Itโ€™s an amazing trail where we will visit โ€œDeir Mar Youhannaโ€ (Jean Monastery). Then, we will continue to Kfarhelda โ€“ Beit Chlela along a ๐Ÿบ Phoenician trail with breathtaking views to remember forever.

๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฅพ HIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy, 4 to 6 for intermediate, and 7 to 9 for strenuous.

Our hike will be divided into 3 levels.

๐Ÿ… Level 2 (Distance of 3 km – 1Hrs approx. at a slow pace)
itโ€™s only ๐Ÿ‘“ visiting the amazing landmarks.

๐Ÿฅ‡ Level 3: It will be a moderate hike of around 7 Km; there will be enough time to rest, take pictures and contemplate the views. This level is suitable for those who enjoy nature and donโ€™t want to exhaust themselves.

๐Ÿฅˆ Level 5: The track 11 Km around is uphill and requires some physical ability; hikers should be able to walk long distances to take this level.

Being there is like going back to our grandparentsโ€™ roots, experiencing the true rural life.

This hike is not to be missed. It will imprint unforgettable memories of a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
