In this trip you will enjoy the archaeological sites and beautiful mountain scenery of Caza Kesrouane. Beginning along the coast, you can see the ancient, rock-carved stelae at Nahr El-Kalb and visit the magnificent Jeita Grotto. Then, turning inland, you will drive upwards toward Faraya and Mount Sannine. Along the way, you will pass through the charming resort towns of Aajaltoun, Rayfoun, Faytroun, Mayrouba, and Hrajel, which all have pleasant climates, beautiful trees, and interesting old churches to visit. As you drive, look for the interesting karst limestone rock formations, which are scattered throughout this region. Your trip ends high in the mountains at Faraya and Faqra-Kfar Dibiane, where many historic and natural attractions await you. Visit the ancient Qalaat Faqra Roman ruins, visit the old churches and buildings in the villages, or ski at the Faraya or Faqra resorts. No matter what your interests, there is something in this region for everyone to enjoy during a day or a weekend in the mountains.
