About this activity

One of Lebanon’s beautiful reserves. 8 KM away from Jbeil city, this nature reserve has wide biodiversity of insects, plants, and animals. The reserve has 3 entrances, and 18 trails that vary in difficulty and length. Enjoy a beautiful hike under pine trees and many other tree species. Maybe one of the smallest reserves in Lebanon but it’s one of the oldest with many remarkable ruins inside.

Notes

Kids play area is available in addition to a wooden jungle where they can climb and do zipline

Beautiful!

We discovered Bentael Nature Reserve through this app and were happy we did. The area was beautiful. The trails were pretty well maintained, with log steps and rope banisters as needed through much of the tougher areas—though we did end up on some quite steep areas that were less assisted and required some scrambling. The trails were marked in several places, so fairly straightforward. That said, the signs would benefit from more info, like distance and ability levels more clearly indicated. Of note, the gates were locked when we arrived. We phoned the number at the entrance and a gentleman arrive within maybe 5 minutes to let us in. I’d advise good hiking shoes and dry weather, as it was slippery in many spots (small rocks, pine needles etc). A great afternoon hike!
