Why Faraya offers Lebanon's best alpine paragliding

At nearly 2,000 metres, Faraya sits higher than any other paragliding site in Lebanon. The altitude means stronger thermals, longer flights, and views that stretch from the Mediterranean coast all the way to the Bekaa Valley and the Anti-Lebanon mountains on clear days.

In winter, paragliding above the ski slopes of Mzaar Kfardebian is a unique experience you won't find anywhere else in the Middle East. In summer, the same mountains turn green and cool — perfect thermal conditions for extended cross-country flights.

Common questions

Yes — Faraya is a higher-altitude alpine site at nearly 1,900 metres. You get stronger thermals, longer potential flights, and a completely different landscape: mountains, ski slopes, and the Bekaa Valley rather than the coast.
Absolutely. Flying above Faraya's snow-covered peaks in winter is one of the most spectacular paragliding experiences in Lebanon. Jack adjusts the launch site based on snow and wind conditions.
On a clear day you can see the Mediterranean coast to the west and the Anti-Lebanon mountains and Syria to the east — the full width of Lebanon from a single flight.
Faraya is approximately 50 km from Beirut, about 1 hour by car. Jack coordinates the exact meeting point upon booking.
Yes — tandem paragliding requires no experience regardless of the site. Jack handles all piloting. The higher altitude means the flight can feel more intense, but it's perfectly safe and exhilarating for first-timers.
