Held under the patronage of H.E. Mrs. Laura Khazen Lahoud, Minister of Tourism, and H.E. Dr. Ghassan Salamé, Minister of Culture

On September 26, we joined the Association for the Protection of Jabal Moussa to celebrate the official opening of the LMT–Jabal Moussa linking trail. The event also marked 18 years of conservation action and celebrated Jabal Moussa’s newly certified local guides.

The day brought nature, heritage, and community together. Thank you to everyone who made this milestone possible.

برعاية معالي وزيرة السياحة السيدة لورا الخازن لحود، ومعالي وزير الثقافة الدكتور غسان سلامة،
