Have you ever heard of hiking in Lebanon?
Is it safe?
What is the Lebanon Mountain trail?
The Lebanon Mountain trail is the first long distance hiking trail in Lebanon and the Arab world (www.lebanontrail.org). It extends 440km. from Qbaiyat in the north to Marjeyoun in the south. It traverses 75 towns and villages at altitudes from 600m to 1900m. The LMT showcases the natural beauty and cultural wealth of Lebanon’s mountains.
The Lebanon Mountain Trail Association organized the first complete thru-walk of the LMT during the month of April 2009. The core group of 7 hikers explored history and culture, as well as the natural beauty of Lebanon.
They blogged the journey, an interesting read with plenty of photos.

Time Magazine posted a short video on this Adventure.
This could be the start of something much bigger in the Middle East. Just as soon as Peace breaks out there.
