🛣️ Drive: Beirut → Faraya (Approx. 1 hour)

2. Chabrouh Dam (Faraya) – 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM

Start your snow day at the iconic Chabrouh Dam, one of the most beautiful winter scenes in Lebanon. When covered in snow, the lake and surrounding mountains feel like a postcard — calm, bright, and cinematic.

Here you can:

3. Mar Charbel Faraya Viewpoint – 10:45 AM to 11:15 AM

Next, head up to Mar Charbel Faraya, one of the best panoramic viewpoints in the region. From here, you can see massive white mountains and valleys covered in snow.

This is a quick but unforgettable stop:

• Stunning snowy views from above
• A perfect location for drone shots (weather permitting)
• If the drone can’t fly, Insta360 “drone-like” angles will be used

4. Faqra Roman Ruins & Faqra Natural Bridge (Kfardebian) – 11:40 AM to 12:30 PM

This stop is a beautiful blend of history, nature, and snow, located high in the mountains of Kfardebian.

We begin with the Faqra Roman Ruins, one of the most important archaeological sites in Mount Lebanon. These ancient remains date back to the Roman era and include stone temples, foundations, and carved structures that once served religious and cultural purposes. In winter, the ruins become even more special, surrounded by snow-covered landscapes and wide mountain views.

Just a short walk away, you’ll also visit the famous Faqra Natural Bridge, known locally as Jisr Al Hajar (The Stone Bridge). This natural limestone bridge is one of the most impressive geological formations in Lebanon.

The bridge features:

• A massive natural stone arch spanning around 50 meters
• A deep basin below filled with huge rock blocks
• Snow-covered cliffs and open mountain scenery around it

Standing on or near the bridge gives you a real sense of scale and wonder — it feels raw, powerful, and completely natural. In winter, the contrast between white snow, beige stone, and blue sky makes this spot perfect for photography and cinematic shots.

At this stop, you’ll enjoy:

• Walking among Roman ruins in a snowy mountain setting
• Visiting one of Lebanon’s greatest natural landmarks
• Professional photos and videos with mountain and snow backdrops
• Drone footage if weather conditions allow (If not, Insta360 with the 3-meter invisible stick will be used for wide cinematic angles)

This stop adds depth to the tour — combining Lebanon’s ancient history with its wild natural beauty, all in a true winter atmosphere.
