What You Will Do
The village of Besharre in the North of the country. 95 minutes from Beirut. Here comes the village square, 15 minutes later up in the mountains rises the Cedars forest… A 2000 year’s old cedar tree in the middle of multiple souvenirs kiosks covers the main street!
“Cedrus Libani” (Cedar tree of Lebanon) is the symbol of Lebanon.
Much information, details, myths and beliefs as your Guide escort you during this lovely walk…
Our next stop is the Gebran Khalil Gebran gallery. Who is he? Is “the Prophet” his nickname? How many books he wrote and how many languages were translated to? Is his famous book still a best seller? His paintings, what do you think of them? All this and much more inside this humble old monastery converted into a nice gallery half curved in a giant rocky mountain…
The Kadisha valley or the “Sacred Valley” Wonderful views, water cascades (in spring) and many curved shapes. A 14th century hermitage. Quiet observance required…
