Beautiful place worth a visit, well organised and the tracks are clean. The giant cedar trees are charming and the sculptures engraved on some of them are fascinating. You can easily park the car at the entrance and you can also visit the shops at the entrance for some refreshments or to buy souvenirs. The hike inside the place is easy and visitors from all ages can enjoy it without a problem. If it was warm weather, the temperature inside is definitely cooler. Definitely recommended.

Magical Place, a must go-to destination for tourists and locals!!! 🌳🦌⛰️ The trail is very organized (ideal for hiking), free entrance (donations only). At the end of your trail you can enjoy the Creation and Exhibition by The Artist Rudy Rahme.

A must see when visiting Lebanon. It takes about 20-30min to stroll across the trail surrounded by the magnificant Cedar trees, some more than a thousand years old. Amazing to explore in winter where the forest is covered in snow!

These ancient trees have been standing for centuries, and being in their presence can evoke a sense of awe and wonder. The peacefulness and grandeur of the surroundings can spark creativity and provide a source of inspiration for everyone. Cedars of God are truly a remarkable place to relax, spend quality time with family, find inspiration, and marvel at the breathtaking cedars. Entrance based on donation on my last visit.

Magical and an iconic historic place that represents Lebanon at the core. Those trees go back 5000 years if not more. The cedar trea on the flag represents strength and longevity as Lebanon experienced multiple civilizations that ruled that region. Lebanon is super rich in history, culture and many different ethnic groups.

Free entry and parking, 45 minute round trip walk. Nice scenery and trees, but it’s quite small. Little malus for the hundreds of souvenir shops outside

The place is quite nice and can be quite special depending on your beliefs. Amazing wood carving work. The walk is very easy and enjoyable. Not the most beautiful cedar forest in Lebanon though.

I just loved this place, there no words to describe the trees in this place. They are huge, natural, and most importantly, clean. But there aren't a big selection of trees like other ceder Sanctuaries. But my favourite thing in this place is the Souk.People there are one of the kindest, and there products are one of the best. 100% recommend of your beside the place

It is a majestic place. Surrounded by the cedar trees, called the cedar of God for they reach such heights that they seem to touch the sky, you feel as if you have been transported into a different world. Each tree has a dimensions plate. In the center, you find a small stone church and the world's tallest wooden sculpture. It is simply the most beautiful place on earth. Outside you can buy souvenirs, cedar honey, and carve your name on a piece of cedar wood.

There is a lot of cedar forests in the world but this one is the only one called « The Cedars of God ». Listed on UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this is the oldest cedar forest in the world. It contains trees that are thousands of years old and that can reach a height of 35 meters with their trunks reaching 12 to 14 meters. This forest is one of the last vestiges of the extensive forests of the Lebanon cedar that anciently thrived across the mountains of Lebanon and that was exploited over the centuries by many civilizations. Besides featuring the oldest trees, the forest is home to the cedar tree decorating the Lebanese flag. You can find this tree on the south-western part of the forest (can be seen from the highway before arriving at the kiosks that sell wood). When you are in this place, you feel the nature majesty and beauty. You enjoy the walk in a stunning, quiet, clean and well-maintained space.

The Cedars of Lebanon are Biblical... they're mentioned in the Bible over 70 times. It's worth the trip to see these magnificent trees.

A unique experience of one of the most beautiful places in Lebanon: The Cedar Forest , although relatively modest in size, is nevertheless a lovely place worth the drive. The smell of the Cedar trees, the treks and the incredibly beautiful mountains all around make the drive from Beirit worth it. You will feel the freshness and the soothing effect of the Cedars.

The beauty of the Cedar tree. Got to see trees of over a thousand years. Beautiful art 😍. A Natural preserve ❤️ Got myself some cedar oil and hand crafted souvenirs made from cedar

Great atmosphere, the cedars smell pure and fresh. It is a wonderful escape during summer. Much better weather.

The Lebanese cedar is found quite frequently at high altitudes in Turkey and Lebanon, where this type of tree forms pure or mixed forests together with larch pine, cilice firs and the genus Juniperus. . In addition, it is abundant in the altitude of Cyprus and the Atlas Mountains (Africa), where it occurs in forests together with plane trees, oaks, junipers and numidia firs. Apart from that, there are several pure forests of Lebanese cedar.

Had always seen photos of the wooden sculptures and here they are. Nice experience. I visited during winter so accessibility was limited due to slippery conditions in some places. But it is a nice forest to visit.

It is a must to explore this attraction if you are in visit to Lebanon. A Fantastic natural and historical place with breathtaking views of Cedar trees. Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

A beautiful part of the country up in the mountains - approx 3 hrs drive from Beruit and 2 hrs from Tripoli. Very nice for a walk around - the trees provide shade from the sun and it's cool enough to take your time. Toilet facilities are available both at the entrance and in the reserve itself. Snacks and drinks are available inside and outside the reserve and various souvenirs are available to purchase.

Beautiful majestic cedar trees. Thousands of years old trees. It is one of the most beautiful trees I have ever seen in the whole wide world. Majestic, can say no more! Worth this visit. And another majestic cedar tree forest to visit is Al Barouk cedar trees as well.

Beautiful and necessary experience to visit and explore the heart of Lebanese culture and history. Breathtaking views and wonderful area which allows you to relax and take-in the nature around you. There's also a beautiful Maronite church one could visit.

Just Beautiful, astonishing and breathtaking 👍👌🇱🇧🇱🇧❤❤💙💙. Some trees are 25 m high and decades old. Plenty of souvenirs shops and u can get ur name in craved on the wooden keys holder.

Amazing preserve! Loved visiting these ancient beauties. Hope the country continues to help these trees thrive. The merchants outside the preserve were a bit pushy for my liking.

Beautiful cedars. Small reserve. Not a hike, it's more like a walk, so don't expect it to be a long trail. Very easy level trail/path. There is a church as well.

Prized in biblical times, the cedars of Lebanon are the remnants of an ancient forest. The Forest of the Cedars of God (Horsh Arz el-Rab), a cluster close to northern Lebanon’s Qadisha Valley, is recognized with UNESCO World Heritage status. These majestic trees, a distinct species known as cedrus Libani, can live more than 1,000 years and grow to 130 feet (40 meters) tall.

When you are in Lebanon, this is a must visit place! The Cedars are symbol of eternity on The Lebanese Flag. Entrance fee is a donation, be generous because you are being a part of the reforestation project, trails maintenance... Enjoy your time there, the fresh air, the breathtaking scenery...

Magical and Majestic place! A must visit when in Lebanon. A hike in the forest will transfer you to another world! You can listen to the wind and birds chirping! The scenery is out of the world!

Magical place especially during winter when I visited with the snow. If you love ski ⛷️ the ski slopes are next to the forest. Bare in mind if there is a lot of snow you can’t enter the forest! So if you want to walk inside try to find out before you arrive if it’s possible, otherwise you can see the beauty of this place from the road next to it! @iamdaskalo

Love this place in each season

The magnificient Cedars of God.

Wonderful place, hopping all Lebanon mountain can have same forest

very beautiful worth to visit

A must see site in Lebanon. The drive along the edge of the Kadisha valley is breathtaking, as you pass through the classical Lebanese villages. The Cedars site is magical. Make sure you walk through the forest and take in the history of these ancient wonders.

Lovely small cedar forest surrounded by the mountains. An easy walk for most . Souvenir shops surround the entrance but the shopkeepers were not overly aggressive with sales. A great place to spend a few hours. Good to combine with the Gibran museum.
