He travelled to Lebanon\, Syria and the Holy Land in 1832–33. Unquestionably\, the Lebanese mountains come into literature by Lamartine\, giving rise to the greatest number of descriptions of landscapes. Lebanon\, its mountains and ruins\, inspired the poet much of his “Episode” called “L’épopée de La Chute d’un ange” written in 1838. \n  \nThe valley where we’re going is called the valley of Lamartine as a commemoration of that visit\, he describes the area in his book “Voyage en Orient”. Also\, the Lebanon Cedar forest still harbors the “Lamartine Cedar”\, which is said to be the Cedar under which Lamartine had sat 200 years ago. \n  \n25 Kms from Beirut\, most of the villages we will pass by are known for its pine trees that surround the village\, it’s a source of valuable pine nuts. Olives\, grapes\, figs\, apricots and other fruits are cultivated there as well. \n  \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous. \nThe trail will start near Pine Land in Deir el Harf\, then we will begin walking through the Pine forest\, and our hike will be divided to two levels: \n  \nLevel 3 About 5 Km\, take a mostly downhill path with beautiful landscapes where will visit the graves of the Jews\, and stop the hike in Btebiet than by Bus will go to visit the ancient Mar Fram Monastery in Chbanieh where we will have lunch\, from there will continue walking to visit Deir Mar Youhana at Qobbeih. \n  \nLevel 6 about 14 km\, from Deir El Harf as level 3 to Btebiet where we will split into both groups per level. We will continue towards Chbanieh (at Mar Fram) to meet Level 3 and take the lunch together then end the hike in Qobbieh at Deir Mar Youhana. \n  \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. To keep it on\, while we are in the bus.   \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 fruits\, lunch\, water\, MEDICAL FACE MASKS\, HAND GEL\, cap\, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Later by bus will go to Wadi El-Salib.   \nLevel 4 (8 Km approx.); the walk is moderate and the trail (Wadi el Salib) in general\, is descendant.  It will lead us to a wonderful old bridge of rocks. There\, you can take as many photos as you desire but don’t consume all your memory cards capacity because you will definitely take more photos a few meters later. The second part of the trail is open to the sunlight therefore\, keep your sunglasses and hats on. \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.

It was mentioned as “Ambi” 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 “Trieres”\, which means the ship with three rows of oars.  \nIn the Byzantine Empire\, “Trieres” 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 “Nafin” 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. \nA local Guide may accommodate us and introduce the village from his perspective. \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. \n  \nOur tour\, due to its privileged location on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea; will be an easy and beautiful trail. First\, we will go and take an easy path leading to “Saidet el Natour”\, 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 “Rass Anfeh” 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. \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 the historical “St. Stephan’s Cathedral”\, walk in the old Souk\, reach the “Phoenician wall and Fortress” and visit “Our Lady of the Sea” to finish our walk at “Makaad el Mir”. We will have a boat trip for around 30 mins at El Bahsa bay if there is no high wind. \nA delicious seafood sandwich lunch will follow in a popular seafood shop/restaurant in Batroun. \nLast but not least\, who can visit Batroun without swimming in its fresh and clean waters? \nWe will visit a beautiful public beach and have time to relax\, have fun and swim before heading back home. \nOn our way back to Beirut\, we may stop in Batroun to drink fresh Lemonade. \nDiversified.? Yes! You will encounter a lot of things on this tour! \n  \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.

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. It enjoys a unique temperate climate praised by physicians as the ultimate place of medical refuge. \nWe will start the hike in Bche3leh and then go to Ras el Talleh to visit the cross. The view from up there is breathtaking! It is not to be missed! Afterward\, we will go ahead to Bechtoudar crossing ‘AL Hosn Fort’; it’s a trail of Dale Corazon\, where we will visit “Deir Mar Yaacoub” (Jacobo Monastery) then we will continue to Douma in an asphalt trail and breathtaking views to be remembered forever. \nWe will walk in the old souk of Douma\, discover the great landmarks and take a lot of pictures. \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.\nLevel 5: The track 11 Km around is uphill downhill and requires some physical ability; hikers should be able to walk long distances and climb ascents to take this level.\nLevel 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 don’t want to exhaust themselves. \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. To keep it on\, while we are on the bus.   \n   Clean your hands often by using hand gel or other. \n  \n  \nLive it up! It will be a memorable day! \n  \n  \nWHAT TO TAKE: \n============                  \n  \nHealthy snacks that will boost up your energy such as dried fruits\, lunch\, water\, MEDICAL FACE MASKS\, HAND GEL\, cap\, sunglasses\, and sunscreen.
