Visitor Reviews of Mzaar Kfardebian
Carl B from KUWAIT writes:
My wife and I are Australians working in Kuwait. We have been snowboarding for almost ten years. We have boarded in Turkey, Cyprus (what a joke), Bulgaria, Austria and Australia.
For the last 6 years we have gone to Mzaar Kfardebian (Faraya) at least once, sometimes twice a year for 7 to 10 days at a time. We stay at some wonderful apartments opposite the lifts called Farayot operated by a fantastic couple: Aziz and Maria. We have found Mzaar Kfardebian (Faraya) to be comparable if not better than all of the other places we have boarded with the huge exception of Austria. Austria has better snow, longer runs, modern lifts and a buzzing Apres-Ski. But it is a long way away and a lot more expensive.
I agree with some comments on the management of the ski slopes. Paper lift passes are ridiculous, lifts are old and break down a lot and there are no jumps or fun boxes anywhere.
However, I would recommend Mzaar Kfardebian (Faraya) as a cheap, fun place to board in the Middle East.
