We Just Found the Best Way to Cool Off This Summer in Lebanon (On Horseback!)

Beach trips are unfortunately no longer cutting it to help us cool off. Most of us are escaping to the mountains, where the temperatures are a little kinder. If you’re planning an exciting summer roadtrip, then why not spend your day swimming…on horseback?

Tucked away in North Lebanon’s Ejdabrine, Meghwar Horse Trail lets you swap the usual seaside plans for a horseback ride through scenic trails, rolling hills, and lush landscapes.

After making their way through the trail, the horses head straight into a cool river to splash around and cool off after all their hard work. Watching them enjoy the water is just as fun as the ride itself, but make sure you dress accordingly.

Summer in Lebanon is more than just beach clubs and seaside spots. Our lives have become so fast-paced that we forget to slow down and appreciate the country’s incredible natural landscapes.

Besides, this trail is only 15 minutes away from the Old Souk in Batroun. Why not plan your road trip around it, then spend the rest of your day wandering through the souks, grabbing lunch at one of the city’s many restaurants, or ending it with a sunset by the sea?

Make sure to follow the Meghwar Horse Trail on Instagram, or reach out on +961 70 356 917 or +961 70 110 534 for more information.
