Miziara, located in North Lebanon near Zgharta village, is a popular paragliding site, especially during the winter months. The take-off point is at an altitude of 834 meters with a height difference of 542 meters. The site is known for its good thermal flying conditions and is considered one of the best locations in Lebanon for cross-country (XC) flights. Top landing is possible, although it requires some skill. The take-off area is easily accessible by car and is situated next to a unique Boeing-shaped house, which is an interesting landmark. The take-off spot itself is clean and straightforward, positioned between two electric poles. Landing can be a bit challenging. While top landing is quite feasible, the official landing area has been planted by its owners, leaving the isolated road at the bottom of the hill as the primary landing spot. Pilots should be cautious of incoming traffic when landing here. This site is ideal for winter flights due to its thermal flying conditions. However, it becomes too hot for flying during the summer months. As with other sites in Lebanon, it is mandatory to inform the army before flying.
