More than just a trail, Darb Mar Charbel is a symbol of faith, unity, and pilgrimage — a journey that honours our history and inspires generations to come.

The Lebanese community in Sydney has pledged $1,500,000 towards this vision — a profound commitment to building a lasting legacy that links Lebanon and Australia through the strength and spirituality of Saint Charbel.

This free and public trail will become one of the most significant spiritual and tourism initiatives in Lebanon, drawing tens of thousands of pilgrims and visitors each year.

Each metre costs $30 to build, promote, and maintain. This includes:

• Trail-blazing and signage (built to world trail standards)
• Training local guides
• Establishing guesthouses
• Community engagement and education
• Ongoing maintenance and care

Every cent donated will be invested directly into local communities — creating sustainable work and tourism opportunities across more than 40 villages along the trail.

Darb Mar Charbel will welcome people from all faiths and all walks of life to walk in the footsteps of Saint Charbel, experiencing the same spiritual connection he once did.

From Saint Charbel’s birthplace in the Lebanese mountains to the hearts of Lebanese around the world — including here in Sydney — let’s build this sacred path together.

Let’s walk this journey — for Saint Charbel, for Lebanon, and for the generations to come.

Metre by metre, every dollar counts.
