About Annoubine

The valley of Qannoubine, also known as Kadisha or Holy Valley. Country of infinite beauty and infinite contrasts to whom the past has bequeathed a generous legacy, Kadisha is a tourist's paradise.

About the reserve:

Tannourine trees

Tannourine is home to over 70 000 ancient cedar trees such as the Cedrus libani species, as well as a variety of pines, poplars, and other tree species (Cupressus, Pinus, Abies, Populus).

It is believed that some of these trees can sometimes be aged between 1000 and 2000 years of age.

The area is rocky and mountainous with sharp slopes and a deep valley where cedars defy gravity and grow on extremely vertical slopes.

You can also enjoy the opportunity to discover naturally occurring grottos on their hike, as well as rare flowers particular to this high altitude terrain, like the mountain tulip or Lebanese prickly thrift.

Beside the 70 000 ancient trees, Tannourine Nature Reserves is also known for its various types of birds such as eagles, owls, robins and wild animals such as hyenas, boars, squirrels, snakes and bats.

This reserve is enriched with floating lakes of water. It has more than one hundred springs and water sources.

Outdoor activities include hikes through the forest and treks to visit rock-cut monasteries, as well as cross-country skiing and snow shoeing in the winter.
