Comments
The nicest paragliding site in lebanon.... Respect the local legislation : - the municipality card is mandatory to fly (one picture + 20.000 LP). See this with the local flyers or ask Georges (www.cedarsparagliding.com) - Army positions area. The Army has to be notified before flying. Contact the locals (www.cedarsparagliding.com) before you fly. Shuttle is possible.
