All Hotels near Chouf Nature Reserve in Lebanon
The largest of Lebanon’s nature reserves, the Al-Chouf Cedar Nature Reserve stretches from Dahr Al-Baidar in the north to Niha Mountain in the south. It contains a quarter of the remaining cedar forest in Lebanon, and some trees are estimated to be 2,000 years old. Al-Shouf Cedar Nature Reserve represents 5% of the Lebanese territory, around 550 km².

Blanketed with oak forests on its northeastern slopes and juniper and oak forests on its southeastern slopes, the reserve’s most famous attractions are its three magnificent cedar forests of Maasser El-Chouf, Barouk, and Aain Zhalta-Bmahray. The size of the reserve makes it a good location for the conservation of medium size mammals, such as the wolf and the Lebanese jungle cat, as well as various species of mountain birds and plants.
The Al-Chouf Cedar Nature Reserve is a popular destination for hiking and trekking, with trails catering to all levels of fitness. Bird watching, mountain biking and snowshoeing are also popular. From the summit of the rugged mountains, visitors will find a panoramic view of the countryside, eastward to the Békaa Valley and Qaraoun Lake and westward toward the Mediterranean.
N.B: The reserve is sometimes closed in winter.
