What To Expect
Qadisha Valley
Qadisha valley is one of the most important settlement sites of the first Christian monasteries in the world, and its monasteries, many of which of great age, are set in an extraordinarily rugged landscape. The Qadisha Valley comprises all the caves, monasteries and cultivated terraces that are associated with the activities from a very early phase of Christianity.
Bcharre
Bcharre is the town of the only remaining and preserved original Cedars of God, and is the birthplace of the famous poet, painter and sculptor Khalil Jubran who now has a museum in the town to honor him.

5.00Albert was our guide, and he was extremely detailed in explaining the historical importance of the places we visited especially the St Anthony monastery. We started the tour with a tour of Gibran Khalil Museum. It was nice to see how well the beautiful pieces of art had been preserved. Next we went on a walk through the cedars trees at the Cedars of God reserve in Bcharre. The weather was amazing. We had a really tasty lunch before heading to St Anthony Monastery in Qadisha Valley. The view of is breathtaking and we got to see the Christian caves and church as well as other preserved artifacts. Our guide was extremely courteous and explained the significance of each of the sites and artifacts we came across in detail. I absolutely recommend this tour!
Art, Religion, and Cedars in Northern Lebanon
JustinG83,Jul 24, 2023
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00Overall, this trip gave a good discussion about the impact of art and Christianity on norther Lebanon, and by far the best part of this trip was visiting the cedars. I think the tour was impactful, but could have covered a more diverse set of facets to Lebanon's history (eg, not a religious leitmotif). There were also plenty of monuments that looked interesting and that could be seen from a distance, though we did not delve into their significance. However, our guide, Georgette, was a top-notch leader who had a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of Lebanon's history and its religious inflections. Her expertise and erudition made the trip worthwhile and memorable. I would consider keeping the cedars and diversifying some of the other aspects of this trip unless there is a religiously fervent audience.
Excellent Trip
