Bkassine Pine Forest Afternoon Hike & Sunset Iftar

Join us on March 1 2026, for a relaxing short afternoon hike inside the famous Bkassine Pine Forest, one of the largest and oldest pine forests in Lebanon.

We will walk through the shaded trails of the forest and surrounding valleys, then finish near the bus at a beautiful mountain viewpoint where we will enjoy Iftar during sunset over the Jezzine mountains.

After Iftar, we will light a bonfire gathering, relax, chat, and spend a calm evening in nature before heading back home.
