A Day Trip to Hammana: Pick Your Own Cherries at these Orchards!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Want to escape the hustle and bustle of Beirut? How about a delightful day filled with adventure and joy? Let’s take you on a trip to Hammana, to Jamil Garden, the sweet cherry paradise that will make you forget all your worries!

Magical cherry orchards await

When you arrive at Jamil Garden, you’ll be mesmerized by the stunning scenery and the cherry orchards that fill the village with a sweet aroma and cheerful red hues. The garden is immaculately clean and well-organized, and the owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming.

But it’s not just about looking at the cherries! The beauty of visiting this spot is the hands-on experience of picking cherries yourself. They’ll provide you with a basket and guide you through everything you need to know about cherries, their varieties, and the best picking techniques. You’ll also get to learn about the history of Hammana and the traditions of its people.

One of the exciting parts is the variety of cherries available, some within easy reach and others higher up, requiring a ladder to get to—just like any good orchard. The best part? Everything is fresh, and the cherries taste absolutely amazing!

Entry to the orchard is free, but you’ll pay for the cherries you pick by weight.

It is a fun activity for kids and adults alike!

There are also plenty of cherry products available at the garden, such as jams and sauces, which make great souvenirs or gifts.

After you finish picking, there are many restaurants in the village square nearby where you can take a stroll, explore every corner of the village, and don’t forget to indulge in some cherry ice cream!
