Falconry in the Foothills: An Introduction to an Ancient Art

Hidden Gems experience

Hosted by LebanonLocals

What we'll do

Step into the wide-open landscapes of Mount Lebanon and experience the ancient art of falconry. Guided by a traditional falconer, you’ll learn about the deep history of this noble tradition in the Middle East and the powerful bond between falconer and bird. The highlight of the day comes when you put on a protective glove and feel the rush of a hawk or falcon soaring to your arm — an awe-inspiring moment you’ll never forget. This is one of the most unique things to do in Lebanon: a cultural, authentic, and photogenic experience that connects you to nature, tradition, and majestic animals in a respectful way.
