Lebanon travel guide

With one foot in the Arab world and another in the Mediterranean, Lebanon is a lush, culturally-rich but often troubled crossroads

Mention Lebanon and images of war-torn cities still come to mind – the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War the most recent outbreak of long-running tensions in the area. But for now, Lebanon is at peace, and its traditional charms are one again welcoming travellers.

In a country where ancient meets ultramodern you can find some of the best skiing in the area, stunning Mediterranean beaches and metropolitan cities. With cities such as Beirut becoming party capitals beloved of the style crowd, Lebanon is once again becoming the ‘Paris of the Middle East’.

Wanderlust recommends

  1. Stroll through the colourful souks of Tripoli and shop for sticky sweets, spices and silver.
  2. Sample some of Lebanon’s finest wines at Chateau Ksara in the Bekaa Valley.
  3. Hike to Arab Christian monasteries and hermitages exploring the jaw dropping, spectacular Qadisha Valley.
  4. Take a leisurely evening stroll along the Corniche, Beirut’s sea front, and watch the backgammon playing old men and bustling café life of Beirut
  5. Lose yourself in Byblos, the lovely old fishing port that was a haunt of the 1960s jetset

Wanderlust tips

Travellers should be aware that the country is divided between a Christian and Muslim population and should take care to observe religious customs. If diving, do not touch or damage the coral. Do not give to beggars.
