From the main square in Marjayoun, look for a shared taxi or 'service' heading towards Aannaya. These can usually be found near the bus station or taxi stand. The fare is typically low, and the ride takes about 15-20 minutes. Inform the driver that you want to go to Monastery Saint Maroun in Aannaya. Once you arrive in Aannaya, you may need to walk approximately 500 meters uphill to reach the monastery. Look for signs directing you to the monastery as you ascend.
