Qadisha Valley (Wadi Kadisha)
Beirut, Lebanon
Qadisha Valley, known as Wadi Kadisha, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases stunning limestone cliffs and ancient monasteries, dating back to the early Christian era. This deep gorge, carved by the Qadisha River, is rich in history and spirituality, with ruins of hermitages and the centuries-old Maronite Christian communities dotting its landscape.
A visit to the valley can take a few hours, but plan for a full day to enjoy the scenic trails and explore the intricately carved churches such as the Monastery of St. Anthony of Qozhaya. The spring is an ideal time when the landscape bursts with greenery, and be prepared for a hike; sturdy shoes are essential.
