Nested in between Bcharreh and Tourza, Wadi Qadisha is compared exactly to a profound gorge, concealing an exceptional vegetation, with steep sides of parallel stratums, a land with a view full of contrasts where the arid planes of Qornet Es-sawda open on the Greenland of the nearby valleys where cedars, that live for long centuries, leave the place for green oak trees, juniper, and Mediterranean shrubs: the whole is crossed with a river that flow down: “Naher Qadisha”. The water of the small nearby valleys runs down in its flow, and whenever out of the valley go through Tripoli reaching the sea.
This river gave the region its title “the Saint Valley”. In fact, the name Qadisha shows in his Semitic roots the “Saint concept”.
