The valley of Qannoubine, also known as Qadisha or Holy Valley, is a tourist's paradise. This holy valley is where you can find an absolute wealth of small grottos, hermitages, monasteries and convents often carved out of the rock face where the early religious devotees once lived. The main attractions are the monastery of Our Lady of Kannouben, the ancient monastery of Saint Lichaa, Our lady of Houka and Saint Antonios Kozhaya. From Besharreh, you are only a short distance from the Valley. Here, at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, there are 12 cedar trees that are over one thousand years old.
