Guided Hike In Wadi Qannoubine - March 16th 2008 
 
The word “Qadisha” comes from a Semitic root meaning “holiness;” consequently, “Wadi Qadisha” means the “Holy Valley.” From the prehistoric periods to the Roman era, people lived in the caves and rock shelters scattered all over the “Qadisha Valley”. At the dawn of the Christian era, when the new Christian religion was introduced into the valley, these caves and rock shelters were transformed into chapels, hermitages, and monasteries. Generations of monks, hermits, and ascetics found asylum here. For Sunday the 16th of March, Blue Carrot adventure club is organizing a guided hike in this marvelous historical and ecological valley located in the North of Lebanon.

We will meet in the parking lot facing Apotre High School in Jounieh at 8:00 AM.

After having our breakfast, we will head by bus to “Hadath El Jebeh”, where we will begin our hike to Quannoubine and the cave of Sainte Marina.

1. Breakfast
