The Forest of the Cedars of God (Horsh Arz el-Rab), located near northern Lebanon’s Qadisha Valley, is a living testament to ancient times. Prized since biblical eras, these cedrus Libani trees stand as remnants of a once-vast forest. Recognized with UNESCO World Heritage status, the cedars can live over 1,000 years and reach heights of up to 130 feet (40 meters). Visitors today can walk among these towering, enduring giants, experiencing the serene and timeless atmosphere of this historic grove.
