If you\u2019re not a fan of the cold, do not attempt to go there during the winter. In summer, on the other hand, Ehden is something else. It is filled with tourists, as well as locals, riding bikes, hiking, eating, relaxing in the breezy mountain weather, soaking up the sun and munching on ka\u2019ak.<\/p>\n<p>  It is the ultimate break from the city, perfect for families, couples on a retreat or a group of friends looking for a weekend getaway. Be sure to pack a swimsuit, helmet (if you plan on biking or ATV-ing), hiking boots and a jacket. Even in August, it can get a bit cool up there.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<b><big><big><i>Getting There<\/i><\/big><\/big><\/b>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/32620-5-250x188.png\"width=\"100%\"> <br \/>  (Photo via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyscrapercity.com\/showthread.php?p=113452760\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Skyscraper City<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>  Ehden is about a two-hour drive from Beirut, but totally worth the road trip since you&#8217;ll drive through several villages and towns and experience gorgeous, panoramic views.<\/p>\n<p>  If you don\u2019t have a car, we suggest rallying all your friends together and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getrentalcar.com\/cheap-car-rental\/lebanon\/beirut\/bus-rental-beirut.html<br \/>  &#8221; target=&#8221;_new&#8221;>renting a bus<\/a>.
