Hakel fossils museum: In the heart of Haqel, Rizkallah Nohra, a local, has founded, with a modest capital, the first museum of fossilized fish in Lebanon. The whole adventure began in 1970 when Nohra, a seven year-old boy back then, started to gather some stones with peculiar designs and engravings, from a piece of land owned by his family in Haqel. This hobby became more of a passion as years went by. But Nohra did not realize that a treasure was hidden in his hometown until some historians, scientists and geologists visited the village and assessed the scientific value of these 100 million year-old fossils. This evidence encouraged Nohra to pursue digging even more using very rudimentary and conventional tools in order to enrich his fossil collection of fish, plants, shells, snakes, and crustaceans. The museum currently displays a range of 350 to 400 types of fish, out of which only 20% are famous discovered fossils that bear special Latin appellations. Specimens of these fossils are offered at very affordable prices that fluctuate according to size and type
