Walking
Start your journey at Batroun's main street (الشارع الرئيسي). From here, head towards the coastal promenade (الكورنيش) and enjoy the beautiful sea views. Walk north for about 10 minutes until you reach the intersection at the Batroun Old Souk (سوق باترون القديم).

Once you arrive at the Old Souk, you’ll want to find the entrance to the stairs. Look for a small passageway on your right that leads to درج مار ساسين - Mar Sassine Stairs. The entrance is marked by a wooden archway and is often bustling with locals.

Enter the passageway and ascend the stairs. The stairs are well-maintained and will take you through a scenic route with views of the surrounding area. Continue upwards until you reach the top where you will find the beautiful viewpoint overlooking the town and the sea.
