Itinerary description
I always wanted to do this trail. The Ishtar Trail is located within the limits of Almat town in the Byblos region of Mount Lebanon. The trail is well-kept by the municipality with signs marking the trees and their names. During the trail you come across many rock formations that is pleasing to the eyes along with a variety of oak trees that are thousands of years old.
The weather was a great summery weather with blue skies and scattered white clouds and wonderful fog towards the end of the day. The temperature was in the 20s.
I rank this trail as easy to moderate (relative to my fitness – a seasoned hiker). It is a wonderful trail.

We had a great time on this hike. However we didn't think there would be so much snow. It took us a bit longer and it was a bit slippy/dangerous in places and the snow covered the path. I definitely would.come back and do it again when the weather is warmer

Très beau sentier ! Merci M. Z Ramadan de l'avoir partagé.
On y trouve des traces de camps scouts. Le sentier est bordé par un alignement de petites pierres sur une bonne partie de sa longueur.
Il traverse une très belle forêt de vieux chênes... .
Je fait ce sentier en y accédant à partir de la route Ehmej-Laqlouq. Vous pouvez suivre par exemple le trail nomme "Ehmej- Hamlet el Hiya" publié également sur Wikiloc.
