It was mentioned as ā€œAmbiā€ in Tall-El-Amarina letters\, in the 14th century B.C. It was also mentioned in the Assyrian engravings during the reign of King Asr-Hadoun (681-669 B.C).\nDuring the Greek-Roman era\, Anfeh was mentioned as ā€œTrieresā€\, which means the ship with three rows of oars.\nIn the Byzantine Empire\, ā€œTrieresā€ was mentioned in a wider aspect. It was a patriarchal center\, and its pastor participated in the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.C. It was destroyed by the earthquake that hit the Mediterranean eastern coast in the middle of the 6th century (551 A.C).\nIn the seventh century AC\, Anfeh became a part of the Arab empire. It was mentioned in the Hadith of Prophet Mohammed that Anfeh was a strong barrier in the Roman sea. It is also known that Muawiya\, the founder of the Umayyad dynasty\, built a part of his military fleet in it.\nThe Crusades occupied Anfeh early in the 12th century. They called it ā€œNafinā€ and rebuilt its marine citadel [The Citadel of Anfeh].\nIn 1289 A.C\, Al-Mamaleek lead by Sultan Qalawun obliged the Crusades to withdraw from Anfeh. They destroyed its marine citadel and threw part of its stones in the sea. Afterward\, they made Anfeh the center of a district consisting of Al-Koura and Bcharreh areas.\nDuring the Ottoman occupation\, Anfeh became the administrative center for the Side of Anfeh that consisted of 13 villages and 14 farms. Later\, it became the center of Qaza Al-Koura (district of Al-Koura) during winter\, and a Serail [The Old Serail] was built in its southern area.\nDuring the French mandate\, Anfeh was an important base. During World War II\, a military airport was built in Al-Sawdat\, southern Anfeh.\nSince the independence of Lebanon\, in 1943\, Anfeh has been playing a significant role in different social\, academic\, political\, and economic aspects of the country.\nThe name Batroun is related to the Greek Botrys\, which was later Latinized Botrus. Historians believe that the Greek name of the town originates from the Phoenician word\, bater\, which means to cut and it refers to the maritime wall that the Phoenicians built in the sea to protect them from tidal waves. \nOur tour\, due to its privileged location on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea; will be an easy and beautiful trail at Anfeh. First\, we will go and take an easy path leading to ā€œSaidet el Natourā€\, an old historical monastery\, due to its strategic location it was invaded by all kinds of soldiers who passed through this area.\nLater on\, we will walk in the old village rich in ruins and caves and visit a very old Byzantine church (Our Lady of the wind) and the Citadel of Anfeh located on a peninsula known as ā€œRass Anfehā€ and considered a Crusader residue characterized by its rock-cut channel (Al-Khandaq)\, we will encounter as well old graves\, mosaic pieces\, Salinas\, wind wheels\, hills\, caves olive presses\, and Phoenician salt pans\, where you can take a lot of unforgettable pictures.\nA tour inside the castle will take place before proceeding to Nabu\, a modern and exceptional museum in Chekka hosting a rare collection of mosaics and historical pieces from the Mediterranean coastline\, as well as permanent exhibitions by local artists.\nLater will head to Batroun\, crossing by the Chekka tunnel\, which is currently one of the top tourism destinations in Lebanon.\nWe will visit Batroun (Christmas village) the historical ā€œSt. Stephanā€™s Cathedralā€ near El Basha Bay\, walk in the old Souk\, reach the ā€œPhoenician wall and Fortressā€ and visit ā€œOur Lady of the Seaā€ to finish our walk at ā€œMakaad el Mirā€.\nA delicious seafood sandwich lunch will follow in a popular seafood shop/restaurant in Batroun.\nOn our way back to Beirut\, we may stop in Batroun to drink fresh Lemonade.\nDiversified.?
