Getting There & Staying Over

Most guests are coming from within Lebanon. The drive is straightforward, and the church and venue are only a few minutes apart.

By Car

Zahlé is an easy drive from Beirut and most areas of Lebanon. From Beirut, take the Damascus highway toward Chtoura, then continue to Zahlé — roughly one hour, depending on traffic. Parking is available at both the church and the venue.

Staying the Night
