• Mseilha Fort - Located in northern Lebanon, Mseilha Fort is a historic fortification constructed by Emir Fakhreddine II in the 17th century to protect the route between Tripoli and Beirut. The fort is perched on a long, narrow limestone rock near the Nahr el-Jawz River. Its walls are made from small sandstone blocks sourced from the nearby coast and are built along the edge of the limestone rock.
• Qadisha Valley - Qadisha Valley is a significant site for the earliest Christian monasteries globally, with many ancient monasteries set in a remarkably rugged landscape. The valley encompasses all the caves, monasteries, and cultivated terraces linked to early Christian activities.
• Bcharre - Bcharre is renowned for being the home of the only remaining and preserved original Cedars of God. It is also the birthplace of the celebrated poet, painter, and sculptor Khalil Jubran, who is honored with a museum in the town. Additionally, Bcharre hosts the oldest skiing area, the Cedars Ski Resort, and Lebanon’s first ski lift, established in 1953. The town is sometimes referred to as “the city of churches” due to its 37 churches.
• متحف جبران خليل جبران - The Gibran Museum, once the Monastery of Mar Sarkis, is a biographical museum in Bcharre, Lebanon, dedicated to the Lebanese writer, philosopher, and artist Kahlil Gibran. Established in 1935, the museum houses 440 original paintings and drawings by Gibran, along with his tomb. It also features his furniture and belongings from his New York City studio and his private manuscripts.
• The Cedars of God - The Forest of the Cedars of God, with its 375 trees, is the last remnant of ancient forests and one of the few places where Cedars still grow. In ancient times, it was highly valued as a construction material for significant religious buildings and is mentioned 103 times in the Bible. The Cedar is a national symbol, representing the country’s pride, and is prominently displayed on the Lebanese flag.
• Deir Qozhaya - The Monastery of Saint Anthony the Great is located at an elevation of 950 meters above sea level in the renowned Valley of Qozhaya. The surrounding hills are covered with pine and oak trees, and fruit trees of various kinds grow throughout the valley, which extends into the Valley of Qannubin to form the great Qadisha Valley. This area is a testament to the history of eremitic life and the pursuit of holiness in Lebanon. Historians and scholars believe the monastery was first established and inhabited by hermits in the early fourth century. Despite being looted, set on fire, and destroyed several times, remnants from the seventh century still exist.
