From here you hike north along the top for another hour. Look for patches of last's winter snow and porcupine quills along the way. From the summit, which is marked by a large metallic tripod, you have a panoramic view of the coast of Lebanon towards the west. It is said that on a clear day the island of Cyprus can be seen. Here tented restaurants cluster around a large spring fed wetland where trout are farmed.
Cold waters keep drinks chilled on the warmest days.
In the spring an dearly summer expect to be presented with snow instead of ice for your arak.
