Accesso

The Ehden Raptor Count site is located just north of the town of Ehden and easily accessible by car, as it is not far away from the entrance of the reserve. It takes only about 50 minutes to drive there from the center of Beirut. A short to medium level walk is required to reach the site.

Birding in Lebanon can be delicate, make sure proper authorisations have been requested from local authorities or the reserve rangers before engaging in using spotting scopes in the area. For the best migration experience, guides or local birding experts are of great help. Being within the nature reserve means that hunting is prohibited and there should be no hunters to bother you.
