Review: A Family day in Beit Mery!!

9/17/2015

Swiss Mountains? Nooo...This beautiful site is in #BeitMery!!!

Personally, I feel so happy when I bump into such amazing sites..a small reminder that my country is still beautiful!!!  When we crave to spend some family quality times admiring those beautiful sites, yet don't wish to drive for hours we jump off to nearby locations...Yes that is possible!! You can actually spend a full family day in Beit Mery area which is only 15min off Beirut City!! 
Our destination was Deir el Kalaa...  
1st we kicked off our lazy Sunday by visiting the DKCC... Located on the northern edge of the pine filled Lamartine's Valley, DKCC is a private club just 15 km from Beirut & 600 meters above sea level...On its terrace you can enjoy a great variety of Delicious open buffet catered every other Sunday (call them up for reservations) while you get to enjoy a view that stretches from the famous Mount Sannine to the coast of Beirut City. Here's my personal review on this beautiful place...

Deir El Kalaa...Monastery of the Citadel!!

To burn off our heavy tasty lunch we passed by Deir el Kalaa & we were blown away with the beauty serenity quietness and authenticity of this amazing place!!
Located on the highest hill of Beit Mery the area of Deir El Kalaa owes its name to the convent Saint Jean El Kalaa!! The area of Deir El Kalaa holds various ruins dating from the Phoenician, Byzantine and Roman era. This place is classified "ruins" by the Lebanese ministry of tourism and it constituted until a recent time an important arts center in the country (in particular with the annual festival of Deir El Kalaa).

Opens till 7:00 pm!
and here you have it!! How you can spend a full, busy  #familydayout with an incredible view, great food, & interesting things to do only 1/2 hr away from the city!!
Tips: Just make sure to keep the place clean and watch the cliff in the 1st Garden as my super active son almost ran off it!!
