Arz ar-Rab / Cedars of the Lord - Al Arz

The cedars of Lebanon are mentioned already in the Old Testament. By that time cedar forests covered big areas of the mountain slopes.
At The Cedars today, only a small grove of cedars is left. They are now well protected with a fence around the area and walking paths for the tourists. Some of the trees are over 1000 year.
There is no special entrance fee, but you will be asked to contribute to the maintenance of "The Forest of Gods Cedar", starting at 1000 LL.
