Qadisha Valley, Gibran Museum & Cedars Hike | Small-Group Tour

Lebanon's north concentrates four of the country's most distinctive experiences into one mountain valley. This guided small-group day trip covers them all — a UNESCO World Heritage gorge, the museum and tomb of Lebanon's most celebrated literary figure, an ancient cedar grove at 2,000 metres, and a 12th-century monastery carved into a cliff face. Lunch and all entrance tickets included. The Qadisha Valley — "Holy" in Aramaic — has sheltered Christian communities in its limestone caves for seventeen centuries. Khalil Gibran's museum holds original paintings, manuscripts, and his tomb above Bcharre — the author of The Prophet, one of the best-selling books of the 20th century. The Cedars of God are a UNESCO-protected grove where some trees exceed 1,000 years. Kozhaya Monastery houses the first printing press ever used in the Middle East. Your guide connects all four into a single coherent story.
