    • Covered with verdant trees and orchards, typical of Lebanese mountain villages.
    • Home to ancient monuments, including the “graves of the Jews” and the cave “Magharat Harb”, which houses two natural springs, Kakha and Fouar.
    • Site of the ancient Mar Fram Monastery, which we will visit before the hike.
