Hiking Qannoubine

Dear Wild Explorers,

Qadisha Valley lies within the Becharre and Zgharta Districts of the North Governorate of Lebanon. The valley was carved by the Qadisha River, also known as Nahr Abu Ali when it reaches Tripoli. Qadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic, and the valley also called the Holy Valley. It has sheltered Christian monastic communities for many centuries. 

In 1998, UNESCO added the valley to the list of World Heritage Sites because of its importance as the site of some of the earliest Christian monastic settlements in the world.
