The Evolution of Camping in Mount Lebanon

Camping in Mount Lebanon has evolved beyond sleeping on hard ground. Today, outdoor enthusiasts can choose between raw nature tent pitching and cozy wooden cabin glamping.

At Skylight Village Jaj, we cater to both preferences with pre-cleared open campsite fields and octagonal wooden tent cabins.
