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.

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.

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. Then you will descend a staircase of 600 steps and then by bus will explore Yanouh village. \nBeing there is like going back to our grandparents’ roots\, experiencing the true rural life. \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 stands to be the best representation of true Lebanese wine. Will visit the cave\, taste wine\, and meet the local habitants. \n  \nThere\, will have lunch in a very special place\, Domaine de Chouchene restaurant. \n  \nAfter lunch\, we will return to the bus to go and visit Massaya. Massaya\, whose name is Arabic\, for the delicate beauty of the Bekaa’s twilight\, with its French and Lebanese partners. It was for Anis “Arak” in 1994. In 1998\, it became for the wine and “Arak’.  Will visit it\, learn about winemaking\, and get to taste its exquisite wine. \nOn another tour\, will have the chance to see other prestigious wineries in the Bekaa valley. \n  \nAs usual\, you will enjoy memorable moments among friends! It’ll be great! \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.

It deserves the effort we do to reach the top because it offers a very unique scene in all directions. Syria\, Cyprus\, Palestine\, and Jordan can be easily viewed from there when the weather conditions allow it\, and you will definitely need a light jacket even if it may be hot in Beirut. \nStanding on the foothills of “Jabal EL Cheikh” or “Hermon Mountain”\, Rachaya el Wadi is distinguished for its old red-tile-roofed stone houses that have survived the most difficult and relevant phases of the Lebanese history. \nHIKING LEVEL. 1 to 3 for easy\, 4 to 6 for intermediate\, 7 to 9 for strenuous \nThe hike (level 7) is tough\, mostly uphill and then downhill for about 20 km long and starts at 1250 m elevation till 2250m. The path is exposed to sunlight and there are no trees to cover us so you surely need to use sun protection and wear hats. \nFor all adventure lovers\, we advise you to take this challenge! \nFor those who prefer an easier hike (level 4)\, you have an alternative that will help you reduce 1/2 of the path; a lift in a pick-up. (Limited places) \nWe will have lunch at the elevation of 2250 meters. Get warm clothing because it will be really cold up there! \nOn our return to Beirut\, we might stop in Chtoura to drink fresh Juice. \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.

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 8Km together in one group as level 4\, for just 3 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. The second part of the trail at the 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.
