14.)-Lebanese Mountain Trail Thru -Walk 2010
The Lebanon Mountain Trail (LMT) is the first long-distance hiking trail in Lebanon, and the Arab world (www.lebanontrail.org). It extends 440 km from Qbaiyat in the north of Lebanon to Marjaayoun in the south, and traverses 75 towns and villages at altitudes from 600 to 2,000 meters.
The Lebanon Mountain Trail Association (LMTA) is organizing this April the second complete Thru-Walk, from Qbaiyat to Marjaayoun. The objective of this event is to promote the LMT and Lebanon as a world-class travel destination and consolidate support for the Trail’s long-term protection.
The Thru-Walk, an annual event, will: 1. Remind the Lebanese people of the need to protect their heritage 2. Support rural economies in trailside communities 3. Promote responsible eco-tourism as a viable business sector 4. Be promoted as Lebanon’s biggest yearly event, one spanning 29 continuous days of action For more information contact the LMTA at lmta@lebanontrail.org or call them at +961 5 955302/3

I'm very impressed with the festivals list! WOW what a impressive list... or in Lebanese lista hehe. Ivan you also asked me to recommend my top 4 , I'm going to tell you Ive never been to MOST of these but Byblos Festival is my number one this year, followed by Beiteddine Festival, Baalbek Festival, and last but definitely not least the Lebanese Mountain Trail Thru. Those are my top four. The Estivales Deir el Qamar Festival and the Batroun Festival would also be good choices, Ive been to those too...the music isnt as great as my top 3...but the cities are GORGEOUS and packed and full of life. Batroun is a coastal city, and Deir el Qamar is a mountain city. If you haven't noticed Ivan, most of these festivals fall in the same time period/frame, you could actually go to Lebanon and attend three or four festivals in the same month. Keep that in mind and enjoy. Hope I helped :]
