Douma is also derived from the Latin word “Doman” used to designate a Queen (Julia Domna) famous for her beauty and intelligence. \nDouma’s pronunciation derives as well from the Hebrew language word of “doumah” meaning calm and rest. \nAlmost all its houses are made of red brick which makes Douma a famous place.

Dale Corazon has prepared a new hiking event in Bziza – Darbechtar\, a picturesque area in the South-Eastern periphery of Koura. The area is ideal for hiking thanks to plenty of wonderful trails passing through breathtaking landscapes. During our trek\, we will also see plenty of Lebanese old heritage houses\, ruins\, caves\, ancient churches\, in addition to Roman remains.    \n  \nThe trail begins in Bziza\, a village that is 75 kilometers from Beirut and lies at an altitude of 400 meters. Its name is of Phoenician origin and means “the stolen village”. According to archeologists\, Bziza stands over a former village that was destroyed by earthquakes. Bziza is home to the ruins of a Roman temple\, with three walls (measuring 5m in height) remaining\, as well as some ancient pillars\, the remains of other ancient structures\, old pottery fragments and two oil lamps. \nNearby\, is a barrel-vaulted Byzantine chapel of St. Elias with its beautiful medieval wall painting. \n  \nCrossing by Wata Fares the trail continues onto the neighboring village of Darbechtar\, which is famous for its lush olive trees that covers much of the area. The name of this village is composed of two Aramaic words: Dar and Ishtar\, meaning the House of Astarte. It is believed that the village was the site of an ancient Phoenician shrine for the Goddess of Fertility. \n  \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous \nOur hike will be divided into 2 levels. \n  \nAdvanced Level (13 KMs) will start their walk from the temple of Bziza and continue to the village of Wata Fares\, where they will reach a hill with panoramic views. Then\, they will continue to the historic Mar Shallita monastery\, before heading uphill on a trail that takes them to the center of the village. In the village\, many sites will be seen\, including the famed Mar Elias cave. Afterward\, the hikers will take a spectacular trail taking them to the end of the village. \nIntermediate (9 KMs) will also start at the temple of Bziza and follow the same trail as Advanced\, but will end their hike inside Darbechtar. The two levels will meet inside the village at Mar Elias cave which is unique because of the seven layers that constitute it\, where they will have lunch all together. \n  \n  \nWHAT TO TAKE: \n============                  \n  \nHealthy snacks that will boost up your energy such as dried fruits\, lunch\, water\, cap\, sunglasses\, and sunscreen.

It is crucial to discover and realize the importance of our traditional and old Lebanese industries. \nBeit Chabab whose name derived from its Syriac origin means “the neighbor’s house”. \nCharacterized by its traditional old houses\, the village attracts the attention of both the international and local media. Many of the old\, famous and grand mansions were portrayed or drawn up by artists who represented the village as a fine symbol of Lebanese tradition\, a feature also found in another village like Aintoura\, Beit Mery\, Dhour Chweir. \nIt is often said that Beit Chabab is among the seven most beautiful villages found in Lebanon. \nThe history of the Beit Chabab’s handicraft industries\, mentioned above\, dates back to the 18th century.  Here\, the manufacturers of the pottery\, bell\, textile and silk industries represent well known features of the town and are mentioned in almost every student history book used in Lebanese schools. The old houses that were used to host the textile inventory\, known in Arabic as DIMA\, are the oldest and most famous fabric industry that used to supply the local market\, and also go for export. Now lie forsaken. \nThe Tirki family which has traditionally worked in this domain has both its older and younger generation members located outside Lebanon.  \nThe Naffa’a family still working in the bell industry now faces competition from the more modern and electrically run manufacturers. \nFinally\, the village inhabitants themselves are religious minded and true believers.  Fifteen old churches are found within the village\, as well as a monastery with well -established clergy personnel.  It is rare to find in Lebanon a village with such a high number of churches. \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous \nOur hike Level 4 plus 10 km\, it will be a combination of walking in Beit chabeb village\, the vast forests and crossing water sources\, old houses and old narrow stone staircases.\nWe will begin from the village then to the vast forests to visit the hermitage of St. Roukoz at neighboring village called Mar Botros. Later on\, we will visit the old abandoned textile factory which was running at the Othomans governing period. Then we will take the bus and go to see the bells factory of Naffaa family. \nBeit Chabeb hike is not just a hike in a very beautiful village\, along streams\, ponds\, huge trees\, among old houses\, old narrow stone staircases and breathtaking views. It is a cultural tour as well. \nFor Level 2 it’s a tour only\n\n\nDon’t let any adventure go by untried. Live your life to the fullest!  \n  \nWHAT TO TAKE: \n============                  \n  \nHealthy snacks that will boost up your energy such as dried fruits\, lunch\, water\, cap\, sunglasses and sunscreen.

The valley is a deep gorge carved by the Kadisha River\, also known as the Nahr Abu Ali when it reaches Tripoli. Kadisha means “Holy” in Aramaic\, and the valley\, sometimes called the Holy Valley\, has sheltered Christian monastic communities for many centuries. The Valley which harbors the most ancient Christian monasteries in the world is on the verge of being radiated from the World Heritage list because of serious plagues that are destroying it. \n  \nHistory \n  \nAnnoubine’s history dates back to the 7th century. It has monasteries and sanctuaries spread all over the gorge\, in the form of caves or churches. \nSince the early centuries of Christianity\, the Holy Valley has served as a refuge for those in search of solitude. Historians believe that the Kadisha Valley has had monastic communities continuously since the earliest years of Christianity. It was also at times a destination for Muslim mystics\, or Sufis\, who also visited it for meditation and solitude. \n  \n  \nDESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT: \n=======================                                                                                      \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous \nThe hike offers three levels:\nLevel 3 (5 km\, Approx.)\, easy trail from Hawka village till Deir Saydet Qannoubine.\nLevel 4 (10 km\, Approx.)\, we will start from Hawka\, visit the hermit\, St. Marina and Deir Saidet Annoubine.

The Aassi Hawka (cave) in particular\, has yielded archaeological items indicating Palaeolithic\, Roman\, and medieval periods of use. A Colombian hermit now resides there. We will have the chance to visit him.\n \nDeir Saidet Annoubine:\nThis is one of the oldest Monasteries in Lebanon. The monastery was built in a rocky pit\, most probably by Byzantine emperor Theodos the Great in 379 – 395.

The monastery was rehabilitated in 1990 and is now used by the Antonine Sisters who welcome pilgrims to spend the night.\nSt. Marina:\nThe chapel of St. Marina now holds the tombs of eighteen patriarchs.

There\, we will have our lunch. \nHistorically\, Nahr El Jawz valley was the only possible way through which armies could reach Batroun and for that reason fortress of Msaylha was built by Emir Fakhredine II in the 17th century to protect Batroun from enemy attacks. \nThe valley offers a varied landscape and it’s considered one of the most enchanting for hiking in Batroun Caza. \n  \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous. \n  \nDue to the topography of the ground and walking beside the river\, you are bound to descend and ascend minor slopes\, so the hike will be a Level 4 (9.5 Km)\, it will be easy. \nThe trail offers many scenic spots and adventure.
