Hiking Trip - Jabal Moussa Hike - Keserwan District

  • Perched on the slopes of the Mount Lebanon Chain, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Jabal Moussa reserve stands as one of Lebanon's most pristine and untamed areas. Recently safeguarded by municipal laws, this reserve is renowned for its historic Adonis Valley, ancient agricultural terraces, and Roman-era trails.

    Within this sanctuary, rare species of wildlife and vegetation thrive, making it a cherished asset to our beloved Lebanon.

    Our hike will offer a moderate level of difficulty, rated at level 4+. The captivating trail winds its way through oak and juniper trees, offering breathtaking views.

    The level 4+ trail descends towards Yahchouch, passing by the Mar Jeryes church and continuing on to Nahr el Dahab.

    After the hike, we'll enjoy a local lunch at an old Lebanese traditional guesthouse, providing a memorable conclusion to our journey before returning to Beirut.
