Located 70 km northeast of Beirut, Wadi Es Sabaa is a scenic valley near the villages of Akroum, Kfar Toun, and Mrah el Bsatine in North Lebanon. The valley is a popular destination for hikers, with a variety of picturesque paths to explore.
Throughout the year, the valley enjoys a pleasant climate, with temperatures ranging from a maximum of 28° C in July to a minimum of 6° C in January. Along the way, hikers can discover fascinating remnants of history, including two famous Babylonian stelae dating back to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar.
The first one depicts an individual wearing a crown and facing a lion standing on its hind legs. The second one, located beneath this site in Sheer el Sanam, features a carving of a king or ruler, seated, with an unidentified object in his right hand. The carvings also include various celestial symbols, such as the seven-segmented star of Astarte and a crescent-shaped bow.
