Sawfar in Pictures: Lebanon’s Panoramic Paradise

Sawfar, conveniently nestled in the vibrant district of Aley, is a panoramic wonderland. Overlooking Matn and the Lamartine Valley, Sawfar relishes in all its glory when the weather clears up after winter. Considered by many as the perfect Lebanese retreat, here are some examples as to why Sawfar is just that.

Sawfar receives heavy snowfall in wintertime, and by summertime the snow melts to create a refreshingly dry atmosphere in comparison to Beirut’s humidity.

And in Spring months, Sawfar blooms in all its glory.

Where you’ll find houses fit for royalty…

Its abandoned buildings will ignite your imagination.

And its sunsets will keep you inspired.

It’s the perfect destination for an early morning jog…

Or for an afternoon among the trees.

It’s the most picturesque setting for a cruise in the car

Or for a walk in its natural gardens with family and friends.

It’s as beautiful by night as it is by day…

Sawfar is a true piece of (Lebanese) heaven.
