What To Expect

1

Beiteddine Palace or ‘House of Faith’ is a 19th-century palace in Beiteddine, Lebanon. It hosts the annual Beiteddine Festival and the Beiteddine Palace Museum. Emir Bashir Chehab II, who later became the ruler of the Mount Lebanon Emirate, built the palace between 1788 and 1818. After 1840, the palace was used by the Ottomans as a government building. During the French Mandate it served as a local administrative office. In 1943, the palace was declared the president's official summer residence. During the Lebanese Civil War it was heavily damaged. Parts of the palace are today open to the public while the rest is still the president's summer residence.

The site of Qasr Moussa or Moussa Castle tells the story of a man who pursued the dream of building his own castle. The castle was built on a hill between Deir El Kamar and Beiteddine - Lebanon, with the beliefs and ideas of its builder engraved on its stones. The castle was built by Moussa Al Maamari who was born on July 27, 1931. His idea of building a castle began when he was only 14 years old to impress a local girl he loved.

    Beiteddine is a wonderful place to visit. The mosaics are beautiful. Albert was a great guide at the sight as well as informative with the history of Lebanon. Unfortunately the Chouf Cedars was closed due to snow, but Albert stopped at a wonderful cafe and bakery for a nice rest. Deir al Qamar and Moussa castle were nice as well. Thank you Albert for making the day nice and welcoming as I was traveling alone.
