Lebanon

Where the Middle East meets the Mediterranean

MarHabā, and welcome to the home of the Middle East’s most exhilarating city: Beirut. This packed city is perfect if you’ve got the energy for it: haggle at Souk Al Ahad, go dancing in Mar Mikhael or drink dry white wine at Chateau Ksara. But if that all sounds a bit too much, get out of the city and take in all of the breathtaking natural beauty that Lebanon has to offer. See the stalactites of Jeita Grotto (a system of caves spanning over 6km, only accessible by cable car), or hike amongst waterfalls and ruined monasteries in the Qadisha Valley. So if you want to explore the Roman ruins of Baalbek, or party all night in an old market in Byblos, VISIT LEBANON
