Intro
OUR TOURS TO LEBANON ARE CURRENTLY SUSPENDED.
WE HOPE TO RESUME THESE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
A turbulent recent history means this beautiful and welcoming country sees few visitors. However, now that peace has returned, a visit to Lebanon is as rewarding as ever.
Lebanon is filled with both ancient and modern charms. Beirut is a cosmopolitan city of gourmands, Qadisha Valley boasts beautiful landscapes dotted with Arab Christian monuments, Byblos, Tyre and Sidon offer a glimpse into the origins of civilisation and Baalbek is a Roman site par excellence.Â
There are attractions and activities aplenty in this increasingly thriving nation. Not to mention its famous cuisine; indulge in Lebanon's delicious mezze, syrupy pastries, and renowned fine wines.
