Hiking Trip - Akkar el Atiqa Hike - Akkar

  • This time, our destination will be Akkar el Atiqa, the winner of Lebanon’s “Favorite Village” competition for 2016!

    It's important to highlight the significance of Akkar al Atiqa’s citadel or Hosn Akkar, perched on a rocky mountain between the two valleys of Akkar. Legend has it that the citadel was built by Mohrez Bin Akkar, who was killed in 864 A.D., and later occupied by the Seljuks, the Crusaders, and the Mamluks.

    Our hike will cater to two levels:
    Level 3 & 5 – starting from within the village up to the vicinity of the citadel, which is challenging to reach due to its rocky terrain. We'll take our time in the surrounding area, enjoying the beautiful landscapes, and then continue to the first water mill. Level 5 will extend the hike by 4 km more to reach the village square.

    Both levels will convene at the local association of the village, where delicious homemade food awaits, prepared by the local community. Additionally, we'll have the opportunity to purchase homemade products showcased by the village's local artisans.
