Lealena Camp in Jahliyeh is an outdoor base for camping, picnics, hiking and swimming along the Jahlieh river path, Dareb al Naher. It sits in the lower Chouf hills, where a day can mix water, shade and a simple trail without a long mountain drive. The offer is recreational rather than historic: tents or day use, time by the river and an easy hike. Families and small groups use it as a break between the coast at Damour and the palace towns inland. Check what is open in the dry season, bring water shoes if you plan to wade, and carry rubbish out. For camping near Beirut, Jahliyeh is one of the more accessible Chouf options.
