Barbar said: “When we showed interest in this cave and put a door at its entrance to protect it from damage, I was very shocked when I saw the damage caused by human hands, and we hope to see a landmark added to the map of tourist sites in Lebanon.” .
“Entering the cave today can be difficult, but the problem can be addressed by facilitating the paths. The rugged path leading to the site must also be addressed,” he explained.
He called on the Ministry of Tourism and all stakeholders, “despite the difficult conditions in the country, to pay attention to this important milestone,” noting that the Juma region is rich in caves, forests and natural and archaeological sites.
He criticized what he considered “the clear interest of the state in parts of Lebanon, and its apparent absence with us, since the abandonment, forgetfulness and absence of the state have become one of the advantages of this region”, and asked mayors who “cooperate for the good of this region.”
He pointed out the economic dimension, “because the region can receive tourists at a low cost, witness a development movement, and there are hotels that can comfort the visitor, and its people are good and hospitable people.”
In turn, activist Ghada Salem from the Lebanese Association for the Study of Caves said: “We learned the news of the discovery of the cave through social networks.
He concluded: “Placing the door was an important and kind step to protect it, and after completing the map, we will see the possibility of submitting a request to the Ministry of Tourism to classify the cave.”
