Written by the host of The Nest, a one-bedroom chalet in Faqra at RedRock, 8 minutes from the Mzaar lifts. Rates and dates.
What to Know
- Prefer the Bqaatouta road and follow RedRock signs.
- At the gate: your name + Karl / The Nest. Have ID ready.
- Your garage space is included, we send the number 24 hours before arrival.
- Download offline maps before the last climb; signal drops.
RedRock sits inside Faqra Club as a gated eco-village, three minutes from the club's restaurants. The last stretch is short, but the first visit is easier if you know which road to take, what to say at the gate, and where your garage is.
Preferred route: Bqaatouta
Come in via the Bqaatouta road and follow the RedRock signs. From Bqaatouta to the chalet is about three minutes once you're on the right approach. This is the cleaner entrance for most guests.
Alternate route: via Faqra Club
You can also reach Faqra Club first, then follow the RedRock signs uphill. Allow about seven minutes from Faqra Club to RedRock. Useful if you're already on the Faqra plateau road from Faraya.
At the gate / security
RedRock is residential and gated. When security stops you, give:
- Your full name (the guest name on the booking)
- The host and chalet: Karl / The Nest
- Be ready to show ID if asked
Lebanese General Security also requires guest IDs for check-in. We ask for a copy of your ID before arrival so the stay is registered properly.
After the gate
Follow the photo directions we send 24 hours before arrival. Enter your PIN on the smart lock at the main door and go in, any hour.
Parking
Your garage space is included. We'll tell you which one in the arrival message. Exterior cameras cover garage entrances for each block and the pool area.
In winter
The climb onto the plateau is where conditions change. Shaded bends ice first. Snow tires from December to March, and take the last stretch slowly after a cold night.
At night
There is little street lighting. Headlights only on the plateau. First visit is easier in daylight so you can orient yourself for the rest of the stay.
Signal
Mobile signal can be patchy on the way up. Download offline maps before you leave Faraya or Bqaatouta rather than relying on live navigation.
Common questions
Which road should I take?
Prefer Bqaatouta and follow RedRock signs. Via Faqra Club also works if you're already on that side.

Your name, and that you're staying at The Nest with Karl. Show ID if asked.
Is there parking?
Yes: a private garage space. We confirm which one before arrival.
Will I get directions?
Yes. Photo directions to the door, your PIN, and a road update go out 24 hours before arrival.
Should I arrive in daylight the first time?
Helpful, but not required. Self check-in works any hour.
