Ghazir Trail is a hiking trail comprising of many treks and side trails, it was opened in 2021 after long hard work and is still maintained by "Ghazir Hiking Group", which is an NGO established to preserve and develop hiking trails, preserve our natural heritage and promote eco-tourism in the area. The historical Ghazir Trail has become a magnet for hikers and nature lovers. The trail is both a form of sports activity and natural/historical eco-tourism destination starting from Jounieh Bay’s shore at the Roman bridge in Maameltein, and extends to over 600 meters above sea level to reach the Red Castle. The pathways, previously paved by our ancestors, also connect to Kfour and Fatqa within Ftouh Keserwan district. They run along the south riverbank to include Wadi al-Haramiyeh area in Maameltein, the industrial area riverbed, and Mahbit area which faces Fatqa. Ghazir Valley’s ancient houses and the old stairway constitute an essential part of the track to reach Nabe’e Al Maghara Bridge. At the heart of this trail, natural landmarks such as mills, slopes and waterfalls abound making it a panoramic paradise for photography and nature enthusiasts.
With your support we will continue to maintain the trail and expand it.
