Mariam tells us about her trip to Chouwen Lake as part of her multi-part honeymoon around Lebanon. She describes the “Jannet Chouwen valley”, river, and lake as well as people she met and things she did during the trip. The lake is located in Ftouh Keserwan about 40 km away from Beirut. The stream that runs down from the mountain flows into “Nahr-lbrahim” (Ibrahim River).

A honey moon is something that a lot of people around the world dream about. It is known that a honeymoon is a trip chosen by some newly wedded couples according to their preferences and what they love so that they travel outside their country for a week, ten days, or even more, immediately after their marriage. This way they can break the routine and change their mood; a memory they will keep with them forever.
