South Lebanon
Standing in the heart of South Lebanon, Cana is considered by some to be the biblical village of Cana of Galilee, where Christ performed his first miracle.
Photography enthusiast and adventurer Areej Khaddaj reminds us how stunning Lebanon is, and why so many travelers are amazed by its natural beauty. Here are 18 images of truly outstanding places around the country.
Bkassine (Beit Kassin), an Aramaic-Syriac word meaning “village of the disappeared,” is considered an authentic gem of South Lebanon. Located 70km from Beirut in the Jezzine District, it is surrounded by enchanting views of a century-old seemingly endless pine forest.
Jezzine is Lebanon’s hub for nature tourism due to its breathtaking mountain views, pine forests, and waterfalls. The town and surrounding area have become getaways for visitors seeking a fresh mountain retreat away from the city.
An important destination for pilgrims, Lebanon is home to hundreds of churches. We go on an aerial adventure around the country with photographer Rami Rizk to view just a small selection.
Spring is a fantastic season for Lebanon’s wildlife. We soar the skies with fellow traveler Ibrahim Kastoun to observe some of the country’s beautiful birds.
The Lebanese Ministry of Culture has come up with a bright idea to bring a little light relief during these challenging times: a virtual tour of some of Lebanon’s top sites and museums.
Situated at the foot of Mount Hermon, Hasbaya is a breathtaking town promising visitors a glimpse of by-gone years, with its rich tapestry of art, culture and heritage.
