The atmosphere in Bsharri is incredible, everything is different, we started our day with a manouche from Saj Alhaj, the dough is very thin and the zaatar has a sharp flavor.
We passed by a butchery that has still open since 1950, some raw meat in the morning with a glass of arak.
Next, Malak Al mouaajanat, everything is cooked from the heart, and the dough is properly fermented.

This is a great resort for nature lovers and an ideal get-away destination. The Cedars are the ancient trees forming a forest in the heart of the village and a cedar tree is also found on the Lebanese flag. The Cedars resort is located in the North of Lebanon. Skiers came to the resort as early as 1920, and have been returning there ever since. The first lift was installed by the government in 1953.
The Cedars resort has a slightly longer season than the others, sometimes beginning early November and often lasting until late April. The Cedars is very different. The resort is beautiful and the lifts are in a huge basin. Several chairlifts could take you to the very top of the mountain for off-piste skiing or down-hill thrills. For beginners, the Cedars is paradise, offering several snow-wire lifts on gentle slopes. An alternative suggestion is to practice cross-country skiing which is unmatched at the Cedars, mainly because of the charming surroundings and nature. Skidoo trips are also a common practice at the resort. In addition to the Cedars forest, there are numerous sites of interest in the area. Bsharri, is the village of the Cedars, is the birthplace and resting place of Gibran Khalil Gibran, Lebanon's most famous poet, artist and novelist.
