Jabal al Rihane Biosphere Reserve

About this activity

In the South of Lebanon, this protected area in Lebanon differs than other Lebanese Reserves due to its location at middle altitudes. A dominant feature of this biosphere reserve is the existence of many mountain peaks such as Jabal Safi, Jabal Sujud, Jabal Bir Kallab, and Jabal Bourqab that culminate at 1300, 1200, 1360, and 1300 meters respectively. This mountainous relief gives rise to a number of eco-zones.
From a more aesthetic point of view, such a landscape, dominated by peaks and basins, offers wonderful limitless views and another special feature in the reserve are the  old  aged oak trees (more than 500 years old)

Notes

Jabal Al Rihane Biosphere Reserve is included in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR).
