Following breakfast, early risers can join the monks for early morning prayers in the monastery. After breakfast, you'll have time to visit the Qadisha Valley, which is another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Qadisha Valley is regarded as the Holy Valley, and the Holy River, the Nahr Qadisha, runs through it.
After leaving the valley, our first destination will be the town of Becharre, which is famed as the birthplace of the great poet and writer Kahlil Gibran. In the hamlet, there's a tiny museum devoted to him.
Then, we'll visit the Cedars Ski Resort, which is one of just a few ski resorts in the Middle East. Nearby, there is an area known as the Cedars of God, which retains some of the remaining groves of cedar woods that formerly thrived in this region.
Later today, we will arrive in Byblos, which is an old Phoenician city that is said to have been inhabited for up to 7,000 years. Locally, the city is known as Jbeil and is another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
