Cedars and Faces
al shouf biosphere reserve | lebanon | 6 DAYS
What TO expect
From Biblical Cedars to paradise lands, Mount Lebanon is an open book ready for your exploration. Discover Lebanese traditions conserved in old villages of the Shouf Biosphere Reserve, and spend time with locals who hold the keys to history spanning more than 4,000 years.
Experience the dynasties of the Emirs of Mount Lebanon within the walls of Beiteddine Palace, and wander around medieval streets of the National Heritage town of Deir el-Qamar.
Have lunch prepared by the local women of the Beqaa Valley in the Eco-restaurant of Tawlet Ammiq.
Cooking (and eating) Lebanese cuisine together is never a lesson, it is an enchantment.
