Forest of the Cedars of God (Horsh Arz el-Rab)
Beirut, Lebanon
The Forest of the Cedars of God is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the mountains of Lebanon, characterized by its ancient Cedrus libani trees, some of which are over a thousand years old. This grove, revered in history and mythology, sprawls across a remote area of the Beqaa Valley, offering a glimpse into the region's rich natural heritage.
Visiting is best in spring or autumn when the weather is mild. Expect well-marked trails for hiking; the site also features a small visitor centre providing context about the flora and fauna. Adjacent to the forest, the town of Bsharri is worth exploring for its cultural and historical significance.
