El Arz is very difficult to reach as one must drive up a narrow winding mountain road along Qadisha Valley. It is best to travel with someone who knows the way, and let them drive so you could enjoy the views, which is how I got there. However, I was told public transport from Tripoli to Bcharré is available, but then a taxi up a few kilometres to el Arz may be necessary, or a hike along the scenic road. The trip takes 45 minutes to one hour from the coast.

Helpfulness
To go to Bcharré, minibuses are leaving Trablous from Abdel Hamid Karani Square (near the tourist office). The price is 2500 LL (June 2002).
In Bcharré I tried to find a service taxi to The Cedars. Couldn’t find one so I paid 8000 LL for a taxi. If you want to walk back take the road past the Qadisha Grotto. Bring sun protection and a lot of water, as the sun is hot. The view is fantastic! There are not many cars going this way so if you want to have a lift you should take the other road.

We were so hoping to go skiing in Libnan, but the snow was just melting. At least the cedars were great.
