Itinerary description
Wadi el Salib again and again. I've been there tens of times but i still enjoy walking or running in this valley. Some trails are still unexplored (Christ trail and Jouar trail): i tried to explore these 2 trails many times but they are not marked and not clear at all. I have to go there with someone looking for some adventure to mark the trail and clear the thick bushes (anyone?). There is a shortcut that takes you directly to the wooden bridge and old houses (check waypoint). Sceneries in autumn are beautiful. The riverbed is still dry at this time of the year. Waiting for the rain to see the river alive again.

Anyone knows the opening hours of the trail?
Hi Hiba. It's always open. No entrance fees. (It's not a natural reserve)

Hi Rami, I would really like to do this trail on my own this week, I am staying in Beirut, and I don't have a car, how could I get to the starting point? I don't speak Arabic... Thank you :) also, would be happy to adventure into those trails you mentioned if you are free during the week at some point :)

Great hike indeed. All the information provided by Rami was spot on except could not find the left turn to go see the old house and bridge. But we went to it from ahead and took a small detour to see it. All in all amazing. Thanks Rami for all the details.🙏🙏❤️❤️
