From Niha main square, retrace your steps to where you ended section 21. Then walk a few meters down the main road that takes you to Niha Fort before crossing the stream. From there, take a left turn and walk a short distance along the paved road. Leave it at the steps on the right-hand side and start climbing towards el Nabi Ayoub Shrine. Once you reach the main square, take the small road near the toilets and then follow the dirt road for several kilometres before walking down to the hill lake, passing by Ain el Halkoum spring. Arriving at the dirt road intersection, you have two options. Either leave the LMT and take the road towards Niha Fort or continue left along the dirt road that will lead you to a hill. From there, you need to cross over the old fortifications and take a clear footpath that leads to a dirt road. Continue on it but before reaching the bed river leave the dirt road to the right and walk towards the stream on a clear footpath. Take the footpath along the river, crossing it in different places before continuing towards some steps that lead to the main paved road. Continue to the Nabaa Jezzine spring on the paved road where this section ends at the signposts.
