During my trip to Lebanon, one of the most beautiful places we visited was Kadisha Valley. Not only is it beautiful, but the valley is gorgeously beautiful and has been the site of Maronite monasteries and caves for centuries. Saint Anthony's Monastery of Qozhaya - This is one of the oldest established monasteries in Kadisha Valley, Lebanon, and they have a guest house at the monastery. So for one night during our trip to Lebanon, we spent the night at the monastery. The room was basic, but fine for us, but breakfast wasn-t the best I-ve had in Lebanon. Cave Chapels and Monasteries - What I enjoyed the most was walking around the cave chapels in the morning. These are the same caves where Maronite Christians hid and have lived for so long

This valley has many several monasteries which are over thousand of years old. Some are hidden in the mountains in the same region and you can only access through ladders. Monks and nuns live there at all times and you feel the tranquility and the peacefulness. The monasteries have hidden special chapels with rare paintings and rare collections. There is way more to this area and you need more time to explore it. Getting there is also special as the road down the valley is very steep but worth it. It is an experience of a lifetime and one of a kind.

I respect the way Mark gives places the benefit of the doubt when it comes to anything negative. I am sure a well traveled guy like Mark would have figured out the hot water if there was any, but he chose to give the hotel the benefit of the doubt. Much respect, there is a sincerity about him.

Thank you Mark for exposing us to other cultures. It is really interesting.
This breakfast is certainly different from what I'm used to seeing.
I enjoyed the tour of the Monastery and the shrines. Such an insight into history.
Be safe, you and your family in your travels.

There is a hot water porter on the wall that heats the water and it is a button you push somewhere on the wall as well to get it going and got to wait about 15 minutes for the water to become hot, but oh well too late now.

Hey, what's up! I have one question. No offense. But why is that you do have to open your mouth so disgustingly wide, swallowing a too large amount of your boring hummus. Dont you have any manners?

You managed to bring out what it feels like living in Lebanon so much of our culture as world citizens is from this special place where people settled down in early history. Wonderful. cheers

Zaartar should be eaten when it comes straight out of the oven. You probably had zaatar that was kept in a freezer, for who knows how long. Lebneh and zaatar should be eaten together.
