Wadi Janneh, as the name reveals, is a piece of heaven on earth.
Shouwen Hills above Nahr Ibrahim… (It is like the Alps in France)
Ebr meant tomb, from which other meanings were derived, so the name also means the River of Lamentations or the Valley of Weeping or the Weepers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:

Nahr Ibrahim or “River of Abraham” is also known as river Adonis (river of immortal love) relative to the myth of Adonis and Astarte in Phoenician mythology. Today, it is one of the tourist attractions in Lebanon, being the place where the ancient god Adonis died, and the river became red with his blood.
The Nahr Ibrahim valley offers a varied landscape and is considered one of the most enchanting for hiking in Jbeil Caza, especially during this season.
