Destination Lebanon
Beirut’s oft-invoked “Paris of the East” designation is certainly well deserved, and there is plenty of sightseeing, shopping, cuisine, and nightlife to keep you within the city limits for the duration of your visit to Lebanon. However, also consider the fabulous countryside beyond Beirut if you’re looking for a true taste of Lebanon, an experience best found through a more lengthy exploration of the country’s mountain villages, small seaside towns, and vibrant agricultural hamlets.

Surely, to a cedar of Lebanon with noble branches, thickset needles and lofty trunk...It was the envy of every tree in Eden, in the garden of God" (Ezekiel XXXI). |

Planet - Lebanon
Lebanon packs a lot into its modest borders: ancient cities, ski resorts,
impressive architecture and striking landscapes are just the start. Then
there's great food (reputedly the best in the region), and great nightlife
(Beirut claims to be the party capital of the Middle East).
