What to discover on the way:

Really nice trailts that starts at Guita Bed n Bloom and crosses over Nahr Ibrahim river on it sleepy rocks. Over the course of the trail, one will discover the 44 churches of Aaqoura and a nice path on the side of the mountain with a wonderful overview on the area. There is also a small grotto to be discovered!
Be really careful when you cross over the river in spring.
Also the way down to Guita can be really tricky and dangerous for the ankles and delicate knees.
