Mar Charbel
Nov. 2019 • Friends
This place of pilgrimage should not be missed. In summer, the heat and the beauty of the surroundings awe. In winter, the snow impresses. It is during the cold times of the year that the spirituality, humility, and dedication of Saint Charbel are most visible. This is a must-see place whether you are religious or not. And the views of the Lebanese mountains always provoke pleasure.

Holy place full of miracles
Feb. 2020 • Couples
It is an amazing place to visit thanks to its miraculous atmosphere. It is definitely easier to understand if you are a believer yourself, though it is not a condition. Although it is Monastery of Saint Maron it is well known because of Saint Charbel's presence. In many countries it is less-known Saint but in Lebanon it is a very famous figure. He is known from many miracles and that is why you may meet here many pilgrims. I definitely recommend visiting the complex - you can visit the church, Saint Charbel's tomb, a museum. The sanctuary has a nice mountain location so you can admire great views if the weather is good.

Large Complex
Oct. 2019
This large monastery complex has a pretty church and great some nice views of the Qadisha Valley. It is quiet and contemplative. Although nothing in the church is distinguishing, it is a lovely place.

Incredible energy
Sep. 2019 • Couples
We visited the Monastery by accident, having met fellow visitors who took us there. The site is extremely well taken care of and it is beautifully serene. They’ve done a really good job at blending the religious components (tomb/church) with a mini museum and a gift shop.

There’s no way to explain the energy emanating from Saint Charbel’s tomb without living it yourself. Take time to sit, take it in and experience it all.

a must visit in your trip to keserwan - jbeil area
Oct. 2018
The monastery is so well nice to see, the internal spaces are so well managed to accommodate a large group of people.
Hint: do not get back without tasting local food at the near restaurants - usually the quality and prices of food at annaya are good.

Beautiful monastery for quiet contemplation or meditation. Try to go when it's not packed. Avoid the 22 of each month.

Beautiful religious sette
Oct. 2018 • Friends
The monestary of St. Maron is a simple but beautiful place. Its simple design and architecture adds to its solemnity. A very nice chapel for worshiping. A small area for baptism which we observed. The museum shows the of life of St. Charbel. Very nice place with an exceptional view high up in the mountains.
