Hiking Trip - Almat Hike - Jbeil District

  • Our path will lead us today on a new trail in the caza of Jbeil, Almat.

    Its name is derived by the Phoenician language meaning girl or young woman, which translates into the beauty that this village offers.
    This event was prepared in coordination with the “Almat AFDC Unit” to whom we’d like to give the hats off for their contribution in the ecotourism sector and rising their village to become a major attraction by creating directed trails linking the major landmarks of the village.

    Our hike will be one moderate level including ascents and descents, rewarded by breathtaking views. On our way we will encounter a huge variety of trees namely Turkish oak and iron oak.

    During our walk and once we reach the top, an amazing view can be seen overlooking Laqlouq, Ehmej and even Beirut can be seen.
    At the end of the hike, we will enjoy a well-deserved organic homemade lunch prepared by the locals. We will have the chance to buy some local products as well, specific to the area.
