Our Project

Introducing: Cultural Thursdays with Footprints!

Discover Lebanon’s Hidden Villages, One Thursday at a Time

Footprints Nature Club is thrilled to announce a new kind of adventure!
Starting Thursday 8 May 2025, every Thursday, we invite you to join us on Cultural Thursdays — a journey beyond the trails, into the heart of Lebanon’s villages.

Together, we'll explore charming streets, meet local artisans, uncover old traditions, taste authentic flavors, and enjoy peaceful walks through some of the country's most beautiful hidden gems.

Each week is a new story, a new discovery, and a new connection with nature, culture, and each other.


What to Expect:

  • Weekly trips every Thursday.
  • A visit to a different Lebanese village each time.
  • A light hike or guided walk-through scenic trails and old streets.
  • Encounters with local traditions, crafts, and flavors.
  • Optional traditional lunch at a local restaurant or guesthouse.
  • A relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere — perfect for solo explorers, friends, and families alike!

Why You’ll Love It:

Because Lebanon is not just landscapes — it’s stories, traditions, and flavors waiting to be shared.

Cultural Thursdays offer a deeper, slower adventure:

  • Wander cobblestone alleys.
  • Listen to the tales of ancient houses.
  • Taste food made with love and history.
  • Meet people who still live close to the land and its rhythms.

Come curious. Leave inspired. ?
