- Bcharre - Bcharre is renowned for housing the last preserved original Cedars of God and is the birthplace of the celebrated poet, painter, and sculptor Khalil Jubran, who is honored with a museum in the town. Additionally, Bcharre boasts the oldest skiing area, the Cedars Ski Resort, and Lebanon’s first ski lift, established in 1953. It is often referred to as “the city of churches” due to its 37 churches.
- The Cedars of God - The Forest of the Cedars of God, with its 375 trees, represents the last remnants of ancient forests and is one of the few places where Cedars still thrive. Highly valued in ancient times, it was a prized material for constructing significant religious buildings and is mentioned 103 times in the Bible. The Cedar symbolizes the nation, its pride, and is prominently featured on the Lebanese flag.
- دير مار أنطونيوس الكبير قزحيا - الرهبانية اللبنانية المارونية - The Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great is located 950 meters above sea level in the renowned Valley of Qozhaya. The surrounding hills are covered with pine and oak trees, while various fruit trees grow throughout the valley, extending into the Valley of Qannubin to form the great Qadisha Valley. This area reflects the history of eremitic life and the pursuit of holiness in Lebanon. Historians believe the monastery was initially built and inhabited by hermits in the early fourth century. Despite being looted, burned, and destroyed multiple times, remnants from the seventh century still exist.
- Temples of Baalbek - The temple complex at Baalbek is situated at the base of the southwest slope of Anti-Lebanon, adjacent to the fertile Bekaa plain at an altitude of 1150 meters. Baalbek flourished during Roman times, with its monumental constructions spanning over two centuries, making it one of the most renowned sanctuaries of the Roman world and a model of Imperial Roman architecture. Pilgrims visited the sanctuary to honor the three deities, known as the Romanized Triad of Heliopolis, a primarily Phoenician cult (Jupiter, Venus, and Bacchus).
- Sayyida Khawla Shrine - The Mosque of Sayyida Khawla in Baalbek, Lebanon, is built on the site where Sayyida Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, is believed to be buried. Locals believe that when the caravan of Karbala captives passed through Baalbek, Khawla, the daughter of Imam al-Hussein, died and was interred there.
- Stone of the Pregnant Woman - The Stone of the Pregnant Woman is a Roman monolith in Baalbek, Lebanon. Alongside another ancient stone block nearby, it ranks among the largest monoliths ever quarried. These massive building blocks were likely intended for the nearby Roman temple complex and are noted for their unparalleled monolithic gigantism in antiquity.
