(1450m - 126km from Beirut)
Bcharreh commands a prime position at the head of the Qadisha valley just below the famous Cedars of Lebanon. In Crusader times it was known as one of the fiefs of the county of
Tripoli. This is the hometown of
Gibran Khalil Gibran
(1883-1931) the Lebanese poet and painter. A museum near his
place of burial in the rock-cut monastery of Mar Sarkis should not be missed. |
