Autres infos...
The farm is so close to Dibeen reserve forest, volunteers will enjoy the serenity of the place.
Volunteers can also visit the old Roman ruins (The long colonnaded street, Hadrian's Arch,hippodrome, large temples (dedicated to Zeus and Artemis), theaters, baths, churches, and more).
There is also the museum which houses a small but worthwhile selection of artifacts from the site, such as mosaics, glass, gold jewelry and coins. All items on display are well labelled in English
Volunteers can also buy handmade products from the local shops, enjoy the Lebanese food in the near restaurant.
It is a great experience to exchange cultural knowledge, practice language and learn with joy.
