Get ready for a peaceful hike through the stunning Qadisha Valley, also known as the Holy Valley. This beautiful place is full of history, nature, and a special calmness that makes it perfect for those who love to explore and relax at the same time.

We’ll start our journey at the Mar Lishaa Monastery, a quiet and serene spot where many have found peace. As we walk the 5.3 km path to the Qannoubine Monastery, you’ll be surrounded by the sounds of birds singing and the sight of lovely waterfalls. When we reach the Qannoubine Monastery, one of the oldest Maronite monasteries in the valley, you’ll feel the deep spiritual atmosphere.
