What are the must-see attractions during a trip to Lebanon?
Lebanon is a genuine gem of the Middle East, brimming with historical and natural treasures to explore. During your trip to Lebanon, make sure to visit Beirut, the bustling capital where history and modernity collide. Stroll through the Gemmayzeh district and discover its numerous cafés and art galleries. Once dubbed the "Paris of the Middle East," Beirut will captivate you with its cosmopolitan charm.
For a more historical experience, explore the ancient city of Byblos, one of the oldest cities in the world, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander along its cobbled streets and visit the Byblos Castle for panoramic views over the Mediterranean coast.
Don't miss the Cedars of Lebanon, a national symbol, particularly in the Chouf Cedar Reserve, where you can hike amid these majestic trees. Finally, explore the temples of Baalbek, grandiose remnants of the Roman era, a must-see for history enthusiasts.
What is the best time to travel to Lebanon?
Lebanon enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, making it pleasant to visit nearly all year round. The best time to travel to Lebanon is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer a mild climate ideal for sightseeing, with pleasant temperatures and lush landscapes.
In summer, from June to August, the country attracts numerous tourists due to its sunny beaches and cultural festivals, notably in Beirut. However, temperatures can be quite high, particularly in the inland areas.
In winter, from December to February, the mountains of Lebanon become a haven for winter sports enthusiasts, with resorts such as Faraya and the Cedars offering quality ski slopes. Avoid traveling during the rainy season, mainly in January and February, if you wish to explore the outdoor sites in peace.
What activities can you do during a stay in Lebanon?
Lebanon offers a multitude of enriching activities for all types of travelers. For nature lovers, hikes through natural reserves such as those in Tannourine and Chouf provide breathtaking landscapes. You can also go paragliding over the Kfardebian area for a stunning view of the valley and the Mediterranean Sea.
For an immersion in local culture, attend traditional events like the Baalbek festival, where Lebanese dance and music come to life in a majestic Roman setting. Taste the delights of Lebanese cuisine by taking a culinary workshop, allowing you to discover the secrets of tabbouleh and mezze.
Art and history enthusiasts will appreciate a visit to Beirut's museums, such as the National Museum and Sursock Museum. Finally, experience the vibrant nightlife of Beirut, with its many trendy bars and clubs offering a festive atmosphere until the early morning.
