There's no touristic sites to see or places to explore, however, for those who like "On a high hill above BIKFAYA is Deir Mar Elias Chwayya, a complex of two monasteries, one Maronite and one Greek Orthodox. The beautiful little church, built in 1590, has an 18th century Romanian altar screen. Ask to see the recently discovered 8th century stone chapel beneath the monastery" (information from by Bikfaya FB page)
