    Faraya Mzaar resort
    by allouc
    The resort is my favorite visiting every year since 1995. It is run very efficiently and has slopes to suit beginers to intermidiate/advaced skiers. Accommodation varies from the 5* Intercontinental to very basic and can be found right on the slopes. Travel arrangements were very professionaly organized by Varianos Travel in Cyprus.

    Ski shops are plentiful and renting decent equipment ranges from 7 - 10 USD. Pic Blanc is a good shop.

    Travelling from Bcharre to Beirut in the area 30 KM east of Batroun, the road to Aannaya was closed. The national car ralley should pass by and we had to wait near one of the sharp curves in the race circuit.
    It was unplanned, but it was a nice relaxed place to make a stop. And after we had unexpected breathtaking moments, standing on a slope in the front row, when the racing cars appeared, taking the sharp curve just in front of us.

    The Cedars, the snow is
    melting
    by sachara
    East of Bcharre in northern Lebanon lies the ski resort the Cedars , just a few KMs away from the famous grove of cedar trees.
    At 2100 to 2900 M the Cedars is the highest of the six ski resorts in Lebanon.
    The season is from November till April.
    In the Cedars ski resort, a small village, are some hotels, shops and four slopes with skilifts (from beginner to intermediate).
    When we visited the resort end April, the last snow on the slopes was melting.

    There are some equipment hire-shops.

    Lebanon is one of the few winter sports centers in the Middle East and certainly the most extensive. This land which enjoys 300 shining days every year, offers, at a short distance from coast, some of the best snow covered playgrounds for smooth or rough playing slopes. The season begins in late November and continues until late April and sometimes longer in Cedars area in a winter landscape unique in the world.

    There are six winter resorts in Lebanon.

    These ski resorts matches their European counterparts with modern comfort and well developed resorts infrastructure as most of it has beautiful hotels, chalets & all required facilities, including wonderful ski lifts.

    Scubadiving in Beirut? I know it's not like the Red sea but for me (who have done most of my dives in the Red Sea) this was a new experiense.
    I dived with the NISD (National Institute for ScubaDiving) lokated in the Rivera Hotel (where you can also spent a day by the pool).
    During the two dives I did we didn't see so many things, a moray and some fishes. But we made a nice driftdive. Sometimes you see sharkes.

    You can rent the equipment at the divingcenter. One dive with full equipment is 30 dollars.

    Beirut's Race Track

  • Every Sunday, Beirut's very finest Arabian bred horses can be seen at the Beirut Race Track near Tayyouneh. Everything from Lebanese Pounds to Dollars to GBP can be used to place bets on the best horse.

    Also, for those little kids who'd like to get on a horse with an instructor and go around in circles, and be nice to a lil horsie..you can go to downtown to the area next to Monroe Hotel and the known Starco Bldg., and enjoy a ride on a pony or horse.

  • AS i have mentioned in other places, skiing in LEbanon is a very nice and unique experience, with more than five ski resorts located on very wonderful sites around the country. You cann find all the facilities you need so dont worry about anything else. A hot mankousheh (lebanese sandwich) and a fresh orange juice from the area will serve you well before skiing.

    impossibly beautiful girls out to strut their stuff

    everything provided but i'm a beginner and really am not fussy abt equipment0they gave me an ugly as hell yellow paratrooper's suit to snowboard. but i got something like a quarter of the rates for snowboarding instruction and am not complaining!
