An ancient grove of cedars, the oldest in Lebanon, makes a beautiful site.
It is one of five Unesco sites in Lebanon. The Cedars have couple of thousands of years - they are really impressive! In the summer season you can walk around the forest. In winter there is far too much snow and you can see them from outside. It is a shame though it does not change the fact they are still impressively beautiful! There are a lot of souvenir shops around. Some shop assistants are very pushy and it's better to avoid them, but there are some calm and friendly ones as well. You can get nice things with a very good price. We bought magnets for 1 dollar each from an elderly ill gentleman - he was super charming!

The museum consists of various sketches and paintings of Khalil Gibran. We can also find here some objects that belonged to him, and some of his letters. Definitely the best moment of the visit is when you can sit in the crypt where the greatest Lebanese poet is buried. Do it with one of his books in your hand... after a while you will understand better his epitaph "I am alive like you / and I now stand beside you / close your eyes and look / around you you will see me / in front of you". NB No photography nor filming is allowed inside the museum.
