Ehmej And Laqlouq Hike

Unspoiled forests, cliffs, and valleys, Ehmej is the perfect destination for marvelous hikes all year round. Stunning views and friendly villagers makes Ehmej an ideal destination for escaping the city, being only 1 hour from Beirut and 25 minutes from Byblos.

Before starting the trail, you will pass by qornet raheb, which is also known as the mount of raheb (the monk). It is believed that this place’s history dates back to the Phoenician or pre-Phoenician era. It seems that an altar was built there for sacrifices and that it was transformed into a Christian temple. Also, you can find a cave there with 3 entrances where you can find Roman, Greek and Phoenician remains.
