Ehmej forest to Laqlouq Hike with Lebanese Outdoor Adventures – LOA

Join us this Sunday for a colorful trail from Ehmej forest to Laqlouq.

HIKE DESCRIPTION: We will start our trail from Ehmej forest. Ehmej, meaning “the hidden place,” is renowned for its unspoiled forests, jagged peaks, wild orchards, and junipers. We will enjoy panoramic views of botanical beauties, the “Ezer Forest”, and green hills. The trail is charmingly diverse, with a mixture of landscapes.  We will enjoy the whiff of wild herbs and thyme, and fun awaits those who want to have a colorful Sunday with us.
