THE HOLY VALLEY 🇱🇧

Located at the foot of Mount Al-Makmal in Northern Lebanon, the Valley of Qadisha, in Lebanon, is a deep gorge carved and created by the river of the same name. Qadisha or Kadisha means "Holy" in Aramaic, hence the valley is named the Holy Valley; and has sheltered Christian Monastic communities for many centuries. The most spectacular part of the gorge stretches for about 20 KM between the villages of Tourza and Bsharreh, the birthplace of the famous Lebanese poet Gibran Khalil Gibran. Linked to the Qadisha Valley through historic reference and contiguity, this valley is also famous for hosting the remaining Cedars of God forests of Lebanon; which is the last vestige of antique forests and one of the rare sites where the Cedrus Libani still grows, which was one of the most valued construction material in the antique world and cited 103 times in the Bible. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sacredvalley #holyvalley #valley #valleylife #valleyoffire #valleys #valleyofthesun #valleyforge #valleyview #valleyofthemoon #valleyofthegods #bcharre #lebanon #arez #cedars #cedruslibani #cedarsofgod #nature #livelovelebanon #cedarsoflebanon #mountains #travel #love #snow #livelovecedars #lebanese #naturephotography #livelovebcharre #bcharre #hiking #trees #sunset #cedar #liban #lebanoninstagram #beautifullebanon #wanderlust #travellife #traveladdict #travelstoke #travelvibes #travelingalone #traveling_world #travelingishappiness #neverstopexploring #backpacking #lifehappensoutdoors #getoutandplay #getoutandexplore #getlostandwander #incognitostravel #yourescapewizard #wanderlust
