Day 28
Both we left this morning, our host took us upon his terrace to look at Rashaya from above. It is a very picturesque town with red roofs and cobblestone roads.
The trek today was through the foothills of Mt. Hermon.
We hiked through many orchards and olive groves. We encountered farmers tending to their plots. Many times it would be an elderly couple working together.
We got in to Hasbaya at 6:30. Most of the core team has really sore feet. I guess 48 km in two days will do that. We were given a brief talk by the emir Munzer Chehab on the saray Chehabi of Hasbaya
Here’s Hasbaya:
Beautiful photo of the orchard near the foothills of Mt Hermon!

Hello Jean,
You can use the links on the right navigation bar for more information about hiking in Lebanon. Be sure to check out the Lebanon Mountain Trail site! That is the best place to find the information you seek.
I finally got around to checking out your web site, and for now I just skimmed through and read a couple of excerpts. What wonderful photos! I can’t wait to read the whole thing. Again, it was nice meeting you and Basim last fall, and I look forward to seeing you later this year.
Looks beautiful. Do you know what kind of rock is the mountains made of?
