Simply known as the: "The Cedars", this resort settlement in Lebanon’s highest range is one of the most dramatically beautiful spots in the country. Its centerpiece is an ancient grove of cedars, a tree synonymous for millennia with Lebanon itself. The most exciting way to get to the Cedars is from Deir al Ahmar in the Beqaa valley. The road snakes up the bare eastern slopes of Mount Lebanon presenting marvelous views at every turn. As you get higher, the air grows crisp and snow patches streak the hollows. At the crest you look down the other side into a gigantic bowl where the ski resort, the Cedar grove and the Qadisha gorge lie before you in a wide-angle panorama.
