DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:

========================     

This time we are going for a sunset hike while enjoying the fresh air and watching the beautiful summer sunset in the Keserwan area. So, don’t miss the opportunity to contemplate the sky and the nature of the region from the Cedars Forest, where we are going to be.

We will hike together in one group along a down easy path for just 2 hours.

Fresh air and a calm atmosphere out in nature is the best way to spend last summer evenings.

We will start the hike in Raachine, one of the most spectacular villages of Mount Lebanon, and visit St Stephan Church. A walk to the sanctuary located on the steep cliff overlooking the camp is a must to see. We will see as well the Cedars Memorial Forest (Tabriyeh Memorial) and then go down to visit “Sanctuary St Marina” and reach “Our Lady of Fortress” (Saidet El Kalaa) in Chahtoul.

The main feature of Raachine and Chahtoul is the beautiful rock formations spread throughout the villages. We get to walk along the mountain cliff overlooking the spectacular simultaneous sea and mountain and reach breathtaking views exposed to the Sun.

We will end this night’s adventure with a cozy gathering around a welcoming campfire, homemade mankoushe dinner on a saj, and roasted potatoes by local villagers.

Distancing from each other is a must.

   Cover your nose and mouth with your face masks.

   Clean your hands often by using hand gel or other.

Don’t let any adventure go by untried. Live your life to the fullest!
