Arz Tannourine, Nature reserve in North Governorate, Lebanon
The Tannourine Cedars Forest Nature Reserve extends across 195 hectares, containing over one million cedar trees growing on steep mountain slopes.
The protected area, established in 1992, preserves one of the last remaining cedar forests that dominated the Middle Eastern mountains in ancient times.
The cedar trees within the reserve represent a strong connection to Lebanese heritage, as these trees were mentioned in historical texts and used for construction.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails throughout the reserve, with paths varying in difficulty levels and offering opportunities to observe local plants and wildlife.
The reserve features numerous rock formations and natural grottos, while rare mountain flowers grow among the cedar trees at high altitudes.
