Lebanon is gradually re-establishing itself as the 'Paris of the Middle East’.
The downtown area has been completely rebuilt and is home to the most vibrant
and exciting nightlife in the region with bustling cafés, lively bars
and trendy nightclubs. There is something for everyone, whether it is a relaxing
evening listening to music or partying the night away at a club.
In Lebanon you can also enjoy abundant activity options. The countryside is
within an hour’s reach of Beirut and is quite unlike anything else that
can be found in the Middle East. Rolling green hills, streams, rivers and snow-capped
mountains are preserved to an extent that is rare in most developed parts of
the world.
The Lebanese people are friendly and the country has a wealth of attractions
including a unique culture and history, and what’s more, value for money
is exceptional.
Lebanon is one of the world's smallest countries (180 kilometres from north
to south and 50 kilometres east to west) but this makes it very easy to cover
all of its major attractions within a relatively short time. Driving from one
end of the country to the other takes less than three hours and Lebanon’s
varied topography certainly makes for interesting discovery with completely
different geographical regions.
In March and April it is often possible to ski in the mountains in the morning
and then drive down to the beaches in the afternoon to bask in the sunshine.
Lebanon also serves as an excellent hub from which to explore other areas
of the Middle East. Damascus in Syria can be reached in just one and a half
hours by road, while Amman in Jordan can take just three hours.
