Description:
Integrated in the reserve as a peripheral circuit connecting the two main entrances of Mchati and Qehmez through an attractive landscape, this trail, better known as the Roman Stairs, is part of the local and regional heritage of Jabal Moussa. The stairs that climb up Jabal Moussa represent the best preserved part in Lebanon. Along the way a large Latin inscription of Emperor Hadrian is engraved on an upright rock, clearly visible, contributing to the “Roman flavor” of this trail.
