Wadi El Amine - Majdel Tarchich - Daher El Mtein - Wadi El Manzoul - Zaarour

We parked near "Jouroudi" at Wadi El Amine area. I usually prefer to start most of the hikes in the area from this point since access is easy to all cars and the walk will start directly on dirt roads. The spring season made this hike especially beautiful. We went down to Majdel Tarchich village. You will have the chance to take lot of pictures on the way down (lakes, flowers, springs and mount kneisseh in the background). A moderate climb will make you reach "Dahr el Mtein", a wide plateau overlooking Beirut river and amazing water holes. The hike continued east in Wadi El Manzoul, fully covered with flowers from all kinds. A lunch break in the area is recommended. The climb of Mount Zaarour is gradual from the east following the ridge. The scenery from the ridge is stunning, having Sannine to your right and Mount Kneisseh to your left with valleys all around. After reaching Zaarour summit, the way back to the cars is easy following the plateau and finally a moderately steep descent to the starting point
