The lodge uses traditional Lebanese clay-brick construction, a technique the NGO has promoted and documented in a book on eco-friendly houses in the region. It has seven rooms and sleeps up to 35 people, which makes it practical for school trips and groups. Each room has a private bathroom with solar-heated showers, and guests sleep on wool mattresses laid on the floor in the old village style. In 2009 arcenciel added Al Khan al Makssoud, a garden restaurant next to the lodge named after the old caravan inns, known for slow-roasted mutton and other Bekaa dishes.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Ecolodge Taaneyel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Taaneyel, Bekaa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>2006<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Rooms in a traditional clay-brick lodge, group stays, country lunches at the adjoining Al Khan al Makssoud restaurant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Bookings by phone or email listed on arcenciel channels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Website<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/arcenciel.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arcenciel.org<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Clay-brick eco lodge in the Bekaa built by the NGO arcenciel, with solar hot water and a country restaurant next door.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Ecolodge Taaneyel at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Built by the NGO arcenciel in 2006<\/li>\n<li>Traditional clay-brick construction<\/li>\n<li>Seven rooms for up to 35 guests<\/li>\n<li>Solar-heated showers and wool floor mattresses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is the lodge suitable for groups?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes.
