5.00Excellent excursion to the cedars: beautiful weather, and abundant snow made the experience unique! Nehme, our driver, was all day, taking care of us. He made us discover superb viewpoints, a beautiful Maronite monastery, and of course, the valley of cedars under the snow! Many thanks to him and our operator! An excursion warmly recommended!

5.00The experience has been perfect, the places visited are beautiful and both the guide and the driver multiply the experience. My father is 86 years old and has been able to participate in everything thanks to his empathy and sympathy. Thank you for making our day happier

5.00We went to the Qozhaya Monastery, followed by stopping at Qadisha valley itself, followed by going to the Cedars of God, followed by lunch & finally going to the Ancient Phoenician wall at Batroun (we were given the option). Overall a great experience. I fell in love with the Qadisha valley, I didn’t want to leave that place, I wish I could live there! The host was nice, although I’m a bit confused as to some of the historical details he claimed about the Qozhaya Monastery. The monastery goes back to the 12th century, yet it was claimed that these monks were persecuted by the Romans. There was no Latin Roman Empire which ended in the 4/5th century as we know it, in the 12th century there was what we call today the Holy Roman Empire (which was Germanic, Catholic & not really an Empire), and what we call today the Byzantine Empire (which was Greek, Orthodox Christian & had lost a lot of its power by the 12th century).
Second must visit area after Baalbek
