Registration for Diman Foot Path Hike with Byblos & Beyond

Head outdoors, and discover everything Lebanon has to offer during a guided hike on the southern edge of the Qadisha valley.

Diman is the summer residence of the Maronite Patriarch. The site overlooks the Monastery of Deir Qannoubin, an early seat of the Patriarchate. The church has some interesting paintings by Lebanese painter Saliba Doueihy. A steep path leads you down to Qadisha River in the gorge. Qadisha, one of the deepest and most beautiful Valleys in Lebanon, is indeed a world apart. Registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998, it is filled with caves and rock shelters inhabited from the 3rd Millennium B.C. to the Roman period.

The valley is scattered with cave chapels, hermitages and monasteries cut from rock. Since the Early Middle Ages, generations of monks, hermits, ascetics and anchorites found asylum here.
