Also known as the Holey valley, as it is home of plenty of monasteries, Wadi Qannoubine (Qadisha valley) is famous as the largest and most beautiful valley in Lebanon. As soon as you put your feet in the valley, you will feel the magical beauty that these green areas leave in the soul and the areas covered by dense trees. It is worth noting that UNESCO has placed this place on the list of World heritage sites because of its combination of the splendor and beauty of nature on the one hand, and human harmony with it on the other hand.
