Sunset Hike - Laqlouq Sunset - Jbeil District

  • Sunsets couldn't be more magical, especially when experienced from the top of a hill, overlooking breathtaking scenery. This time, we're venturing to Laqlouq to witness this captivating phenomenon.

    Our hike will be one level, Level 4: A moderately challenging uphill trek that begins at "Saydet al Arn" and merges with the easy level. You'll traverse through picturesque landscapes while enjoying a refreshing breeze.

    We'll gather at a special spot nestled in the heart of the Laqlouq hills to indulge in some traditional delicacies, including freshly baked manakish on saj, roasted potatoes, corn, and warm tea. Then, we'll make our way to a massive white cross perched atop the area, offering an unparalleled view of the sunset. We'll sit together, soaking in the tranquil ambiance and cherishing the moment.

    As the sun dips below the horizon, we'll gather around a bonfire before making our way back to Beirut.
