Itinerary description
You can leave one car in Blouza and start the hike from Haouqa. It's a steep way down the valley till you arrive to Saydet Haouka Monastry, but believe me it is worth it. The view over the valley on those rocky cliffs is amazing. Once you arrive to the monastry, you can enjoy the peace of the place, have some rest.
Then a pleasant walk till Saydet Qannoubine Monastry most of it under the pine trees and after you take the way up to Blaouza. Prepare yourself for a 45 min difficult walk uphill.
Avoid going to the valley during hot sunny days. Beautiful sceneries and lot of religious and cultural history there.
Enjoy !!!

One of the most gorgeous trials we've followed! Breath taking beaty: the gorge, the rock formations, colours, caves and monasteries..... We've been short cutting the last loop through a bushy waste land. Highly recommended trail!
