MT. HERMON ⛰🇱🇧

Mt. Hermon or Jabal El Sheikh, also called as the gray-haired mountain or the mountain of snow; is a cluster of mountains with three distinct summits and hosts the highest peak of the Anti-Lebanon range, and the second highest peak in the Near East and in Lebanon. Its summit straddles the border between Syria and Lebanon and Israel, at 2,814m (9,232 ft) above sea level. On the top, in the United Nations buffer zone between Syrian and Israeli-occupied territories, is the highest permanently manned UN position in the world. With these borderlines, it’s definitely a unique mountain to explore due to its limited accessibility. One must get a special permit from the army in order to be able to hike it; but it’s worth the efforts as it offers breathtaking panoramic views and wide landscapes on the way to the top. Standing on the foothills of Mount Hermon is Rachaya el Wadi, which is distinguished for its old red-tile-roofed stone houses that have survived the most difficult and relevant phases of the Lebanese history. Beautiful experience with beautiful views! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mthermon #mounthermo #haramoun #jabalharamoun #jabalalsheikh #borderline #hikelife #trek #mountainsarecalling #mountainlife #lebanon #bekaavalley #rachaya #rachayaelwadi #nature #sun #sunset #landscape #desert #sky #mountains #wanderlust #travellife #traveladdict #travelstoke #travelvibes #travelingalone #traveling_world #travelingishappiness #neverstopexploring #backpacking #lifehappensoutdoors #getoutandplay #getoutandexplore #getlostandwander #incognitostravel #yourescapewizard #wanderlust
