Chadi Saad
Chadi Saad is a man whose soul is deeply intertwined with nature, birds, and the rich cultural tapestry of Lebanon's landscapes. As the main operator of the SPNL birdwatching site and the ANAHITA site, he has carved out a unique and irreplaceable role in the world of eco and cultural tourism, offering visitors an experience that is as educational as it is deeply moving. With decades spent immersed in the natural world tracking birds, uncovering fossils, and leading cultural tours across Hammana. Chadi doesn't simply guide, he lives and breathes every moment outdoors with an infectious passion that draws people in from the very first step. A day in his company is a journey through layers of time, from ancient fossils embedded in the earth to the delicate flight of rare bird species overhead. But be warned, if the day stretches into early evening, you may witness a remarkable transformation. As the sun dips and the air cools, Chadi has a way of shifting into something altogether different: a captivating storyteller, whose tales of nature, history, and the land seem to flow endlessly, turning a simple evening outdoors into an enchanting, almost theatrical experience that lingers in the memory long after the stars appear.
