Itinerary description
we parked near the shrine of st rafqa inside the hemlaya town,
the first part was the small loop around the shrine following dareb el salib,
after that the real hike started , most of the hike is inside a rocky cliff, the way down was nice , it lacks signals but its hard to get lost, the trail is narrow but very nice, however it should be avoided on rainy days cause it may become muddy and very slippery.
after reaching the bottom the way to the upper trail back is more of a climb, inside the cliff, its not for everyone but is feasible,
after the climb the way back was relatively easy and we encountered multiple caves inside the cliff , some are big and nice to see.
after we reached the shrine back we decided to do a walk inside the town on asphalt, where we visited the birthplace (house) of st rafqa and turned inside the village before going back to the cars.
beautiful hike inside a cliff, to be avoided after heavy rain cause it will become very slippery
