      Today you will drive to one of the last cedar forests in Lebanon and have the opportunity to admire the mighty trees, some of which are up to 1,000 years old. As the national symbol of the country, the cedar trees have a very special meaning in Lebanon. The so-called "cedars of the Lord" were widespread in the Lebanon mountains in the past. Since the cedar wood is very durable, it has been used since ancient times, especially for building and shipbuilding, as a result of which the stocks have declined dramatically. Your journey will then continue to Becharry, the hometown of the world-famous Lebanese writer and artist Khalil Gibran. In the Gibran Museum you can see his works as well as personal belongings and his last resting place. At the end of the day, pay a visit to the ancient rock monastery of St. Anthony Kozhava. (B/A)
