Bentael means “the daughter of God” in the old Syriac language. Bentael is the first protected area which was developed by a non-government organization in 1981. The land in Bentael is a public land reserved for the protection of plants and animals typical of the habitat at 300m up to 850m elevation.
This hike is a combination of culture, art, and hiking. In addition to walking through a beautiful forest and discovering Bentael Natural Reserve where trees meet the sky, you will have the opportunity to get to know a great Lebanese artist, whose talent is beyond compare. We will visit his museum and studio during our hike.
