Discover the Enchantment of Moussa Castle

Getting There

• Walking

  Start from the center of Deir el Qamar, specifically at the main square (Souk). From the square, head south towards the Church of St. George (كنيسة مار جرجس). Continue walking straight until you reach the intersection with the main road. Turn left onto the main road (Damour Beit El Dine Road) and follow it. As you walk, you will pass some local shops and cafes. Continue for about 15-20 minutes; you will see signs for Moussa Castle. The castle is located on a hill, so you will need to walk up a slight incline. The entrance to Moussa Castle will be on your right once you reach the base of the hill.

• Taxi/Shared Ride

  From the center of Deir el Qamar, you can find local taxis or shared rides. Approach a taxi stand or ask locals if they can arrange a ride for you. Inform the driver that you want to go to Moussa Castle (قلعة موسى). The ride should take around 5-10 minutes. You will be dropped off at the entrance of the castle, where you can start exploring the site.

• Bicycle Rental

  If you prefer to cycle, rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Deir el Qamar. Start from the main square and head south towards the Church of St. George. Once you reach the intersection, turn left onto Damour Beit El Dine Road. The ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on your cycling speed. Remember that the path includes a slight incline as you approach Moussa Castle, so be prepared for a little effort as you reach the entrance.
