The history of the village goes way back to an era that is still obscure because of the absence of archeological and historical assets. \nThe ruins of Faqra\, the traditional Lebanese houses\, the old and new bridges\, and the remaining mills in the Valley of the Cross are the best proofs of the importance of the village and its rich historical originality. \nWe will hike around 10Km together in one group as level 4\, for just 3\,30 hours\, will start at Nabeh El-Laban\, it will lead us to a wonderful old natural bridge of rocks carved by water millions of years ago and there you can take as many of photos as you desire then to the impressive remains of a Roman temple and a citadel built on ancient foundations still dominate the scene\, giving a view over the astounding gorge. The second part of the trail at the Golden Ozer Forest is easy and open to a panoramic view. The protected forest contains chestnut\, oak\, Turkish oak\, pine\, cedar and other tree species. \nAt the end of our hike\, we will watch the sunset\, overlooking the spectacular simultaneous sea and mountain\, and reach breathtaking views exposed to moonlight. \nAs usual\, we will end this night’s adventure with a cozy gathering around a fire camp for a homemade Mankoushe dinner on a Saj\, boil tea\, and roasted potatoes cooked by local villagers. \nProtect yourself and others around you by knowing the facts and taking appropriate precautions:    \n   Distancing from each other is a must. \n   Cover your nose and mouth with your face masks. \n   Clean your hands often by using hand gel or other. \n  \n  \nWHAT TO TAKE: \n============                  \n  \nHealthy snacks that will boost up your energy such as dried fruit\, a flashlight\, water\, MEDICAL FACE MASKS\, HAND GEL\, a cap\, and sunglasses. Wear comfortable walking shoes (A professional brand is recommended) and don’t forget to get a light jacket.

There we will enjoy the fresh air and watch the beautiful summer sunset. The stunning mountainous landscape\, with extremely vertical slopes\, is impressive. The scenery is just great. \nAfter finishing the trail\, we will gather near a bonfire at Falougha village and we will have the opportunity to take a boiling tea and test roasted potatoes cooked by local villagers. \nThis sunset hike is not to be missed. It will imprint unforgettable memories of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. \n                                                                                                                                                      \nDon’t let any adventure go by untried.

A huge panoramic breathtaking view and even the sea can be seen when weather conditions are especially good. It is not to be missed. \nYanouh\, once a Phoenician center\, is halfway between Byblos and Baalbek\, their Phoenician temple\, is a monument to the same religion as that of Apheca\, but the later Roman temple was dedicated to Diana\, the Roman goddess of the hunt and daughter of the god Jupiter. \nYanouh is known for its 2nd century CE Roman temple\, its Byzantine basilica\, and medieval chapel. In 750 AD\, at the time of the fifth Maronite patriarch\, John Maron II\, then installed in Yanouh\, the Roman temple was converted into a church consecrated to Saint George The blue. Between 750 and 1277\, twenty-three successors of Patriarch John Maroun resided there; under the Crusades\, the number of Yanouh’s inhabitants had risen to 3500\, Yanouh is also notable for its Hellenistic cult building containing the earliest Aramic inscription found in Lebanon. it mentions a “House of God” and was dated to around 110-109 BCE. \nTell el Kharayeb (“Hill of Ruins”) remains in Yanouh date back to the third millennium BCE; these include a town of about 150 meters in diameter\, surrounded by a defensive wall and a lower urban quarter extending towards the south of the site. \n  \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous \nOur hike will be divided into 3 levels. \nThis hike is easy for LEVEL 6 and is about 12 km long.

You will visit Saydet el Habs located upon the peak overlooking marvelous views like in Harissa\, you will get the feeling of being on top of the world! Then you will descend a staircase of 600 steps and walk through an apple orchard\, then head to the Ozor forest of Mar Edna. We will have lunch there\, later will visit the ancient nun’s monastery and descend a Phoenician Roman dirty road and walk through an apple orchard\, to reach the Ozor forest of Tell El Kharyeb. There will meet with the level 4 and will explore the Phoenician\, Greek\, and Roman Temples and the ancient Saydet Yanoun Church ام الله. \nLEVEL 4\, is about 8 km long. The same trail as level 6 but after visiting the ancient nun’s monastery\, will separate and will join by bus the other at Yanouh Temples and will explore our treasure. \nIf you prefer an easier hike LEVEL 3\, you have the possibility to stay at Saydet el Habs after the visit so you will have enough time to contemplate charming horizons at this altitude and you will have lunch there.

It occupies the site of ancient Emesa\, which contained a great temple to the Sun God El Gebal (Aramaic; Latin: Elagabalus; Greek: Heliogabalus). Emesa was ruled by a line of priest-kings throughout the Roman Empire\, and two of its nobility rose to become emperor\, Elagabalus and Severus Alexander. \nHoms is the third most important city in Syria. Like Petra and Palmyra. It was also the third station on the “Silk route” after Doura Europos and Palmyra. It was taken in 636 by the Muslims\, who renamed it Homs (Ḥimṣ)\, and the city’s large Christian element was eliminated during the rebellion of 855\, when the churches were demolished and the Christians executed or deported. Homs is situated in a fertile agricultural region that produces wheat\, corn (maize)\, millet\, cotton\, fruits\, and vegetables. The city has thus become a thriving agricultural market center; its local handicrafts\, which include jewelry\, belts\, and cloaks\, are also well-known. It still retains this position of importance today\, as the oil pipelines pass through the city. \nMany churches still stand in Homs from the days of early Christianity in Syria. One of these churches Um El-Zennar cave church 59 A.C. is possess the Holy Girdle of the Blessed Virgin. The church of St. Elian (St. Julian the Martyr and Unmercenary) a native of Emesa (now Homs)\, who was martyred for his refusal to renounce Christianity in 284 A.D at the hands of his father\, a Roman officer. These bear inscriptions in Greek and Arabic with frescoes date to at least the 12th century\, but it is widely believed to date to the 6th century\, making them the oldest surviving church paintings in Syria. \nThe Nuri mosque also dates back to the 12th century\, distinguished for its beautiful entrance. The slender colonnade in black and white stone in horizontal rows is representative of traditional Syrian architecture. \nCentral Piazza will be our first stop\, we will have a guided tour inside the old market\, dating back to the 12th century. \nWe then will move to visit old churches\, 1th and 4th century inspired by Roman-Byzantine style. \nOur next stop will be to the famous khan\, where we’ll visit the workshop and have a chance to buy traditional jewelry\, belts\, and cloaks. We will get to see how this ancient craft is manufactured with the highest quality and still uses the traditional way of production. \nThen we’ll be ready to have lunch at a famous traditional restaurant in Homs. \nFollowing that\, we will head towards the city for a guided tour in the old town and through its narrow charming streets. \nLast but not least\, the trip will be complete with a stop at Al Nour for delicious local sweets. \nKeep on exploring!  \n  \n“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children”. \nNative American Proverb \nProtect yourself and others around you by knowing the facts and taking appropriate precautions: \n   Distancing from each other is a must. \n   Cover your nose and mouth with your face masks. \n   Clean your hands often by using hand gel or other. \n  \nWHAT TO TAKE:  Lebanese Citizen Don’t forget your Lebanese ID or passports. \n============ \nHealthy snacks that will boost up your energy such as dried fruits\, lunch\, water\, MEDICAL FACE MASKS\, HAND GEL\, cap\, sunglasses and sunscreen.
