North Lebanon Governorate is one of 8 Governorates of Lebanon and its consists of 6 districts:
1) Batroun
2) Bcharreh
3) Koura
4) Minieh – Dannieh
5) Tripoli
6) Zgharta
I visited regions located in the 6 districts and I really enjoyed the views and cultures in this northern part of my native country.
I won’t detail every region I visited but briefly I can strictly recommend to visit:
- The most wonderful waterfalls in Lebanon (at least for me), called “Oyoun El Samak” which are located in a lovely village lying between the districts of Denniyeh and Akkar. The village is located in Wadi Jhannam and it is home to a splendid lake and waterfalls, surrounded by a green landscape and blooming trees. It is 95 kms away from Beirut.
- Ehden village is a mountainous town in the heart of the northern mountains of Lebanon and within Zgharta District.
Once I visited Ehden, I stayed in “Mairie Boutique Hotel” which is a simple and comfortable place where you can enjoy Ehden views and access to “Al Midan” by walking where you can enjoy eating “Sahlab” the traditional sweet platter of the town. You can find many pictures taken in touristic sites around Ehden such as Saydet El Hosn, Jouiit Waterfalls, Bnachii Lake and Ste Rafka Ayto.
- Meghrak a magnificent hidden spot in Batroun! It’s a small non-profit eco-tourist project where you can enjoy a walk, organize a picnic, or camp under the stars! This place looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale book.
