• Qadisha Valley - Qadisha Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage marvel
  Arrive at the edge of the breathtaking Qadisha Valley, one of Lebanon’s most stunning and photographed viewpoints. Sheer limestone cliffs descend hundreds of meters to the valley floor, dotted with ancient monastery caves and hermitages carved by Christian communities into the rock face over seventeen centuries of faith and devotion. Qadisha means “Holy” in Aramaic, a name this sacred valley has truly earned. Your guide shares the incredible story of the communities who chose these dramatic and remote cliffs as their spiritual home, highlighting the monastery caves visible in the rock face below. Multiple photo stops along the rim provide everyone in the group with the best possible views and photographs.
• متحف جبران خليل جبران - Khalil Gibran Museum — Lebanon’s most celebrated poet
  Explore the museum dedicated to Khalil Gibran, Lebanon’s most cherished writer, philosopher, and painter, whose book The Prophet has sold over 100 million copies in more than 100 languages. Located in a beautifully restored former Carmelite monastery carved into the cliff above Bcharre, the museum houses a wonderful collection of Gibran’s original paintings, watercolors, and personal manuscripts. His tomb is located here in the cave chapel, exactly where he wished to be buried, returning to the mountain village that shaped his entire life and work. Your guide brings Gibran’s story and philosophy to life in an engaging and genuinely touching manner that resonates with visitors of all backgrounds.
• The Cedars of God - Cedars of God — a gentle hike among Lebanon’s ancient giants

A gentle 45-minute guided hike along the marked trail takes you through the grove at a comfortable pace, suitable for all fitness levels and ages, with no steep terrain or technical difficulty.

Your guide explains the ecology and conservation story of this protected forest throughout.
