Few countries pack so much into so little. Lebanon layers Phoenician ports, Roman ruins and buzzing Beirut against snow-capped mountains and a warm Mediterranean coast, all within a couple of hours' drive.
This is a land of legendary food and hospitality, where the mezze table is a way of life and strangers become hosts. Its cultural depth rewards the mindful, experience-driven traveller.
With soft adventure in the cedar-clad highlands, from hiking the Lebanon Mountain Trail to skiing above ancient valleys, and vineyards in the Bekaa, Lebanon offers extraordinary variety for the curious explorer.
