Lebanon

Lebanon is an incredible mix of Mediterranean coastline, Roman ruins, rugged peaks and fertile valleys. Featured in the writings of Homer and in the Old Testament, its cities were major seaports in Roman times, just one of many civilizations drawn to this amazing destination. Today, Lebanon is known for its cosmopolitan style, delightful cuisine and friendly people. Here you will discover an energetic mix of people immersed in a beautiful landscape that is made for adventure - snow skiing, water skiing, diving and more. Although one of the smallest countries in the Middle East, Lebanon is also one of the most beautiful and is rich in history, culture and ancient archaeological sites. The spectacular Roman site of Baalbeck with its huge foundation stones and beautifully crafted temples is one of the finest in the world. However, it is the stunning scenery that acts as backdrop to these sites that sets Lebanon apart. The Mediterranean coastline accentuates the beauty of Sidon’s sea-castle and the city of Tripoli, while the Chouf Mountains are where you will find the beautiful Palace of Beiteddine. Visitors cannot fail to be amazed by this fascinating country.
