Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Lebanon

Travel to Lebanon  

Lebanon, also known as the Land of the Cedars, captivates visitors with the beauty of its landscapes, the dynamism of its culture, the warmth of its people and the splendour of its ancient ruins. Your trip to Lebanon inevitably includes a visit to the capital, Beirut, and the best way to take the pulse of the city is to stroll along the seafront at the end of the day, as the sun dips into the Mediterranean. To understand the city nicknamed the Paris of the Middle East, you must work your way through its obvious contrasts, a melting pot of cultures, beliefs and ethnicities. Visiting Beirut then becomes a journey through a microcosm, where a Christian church stands next to a mosque, and where after crossing a narrow, thousand-year-old alleyway, you suddenly come upon a modern boulevard full of fashionable boutiques. To the north-east of Beirut lies Baalbek, one of Lebanon's most charming towns, with impressive remains of Roman temples in its monumental Bekaa Valley. Roman ruins can also be found in in Tyre, on the country's southern coast. At the Al-Bass site, you can admire the triumphal arch, the ancient road, the hippodrome and the aqueduct, all perfectly preserved. Built more than seven thousand years ago and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Byblos stands out for the diversity of its monuments. With its Crusader castle and numerous archaeological sites, the birthplace of the Phoenician alphabet traces back centuries of history. In Tripoli, the country's second-largest city, take pleasure in wandering through the ancient souks, where you can see tailors, tanners, perfumers, jewellers and soap-makers plying their trades. The clock tower and the citadel of Raymond de Saint-Giles, an imposing Crusader fortress rebuilt in Ottoman times, are also well worth a visit. From there, you can venture off to the Horsh Ehden nature reserve and the Qadisha valley, two destinations that are a favourite with trekking and hiking enthusiasts. We also invite you to take advantage of your holiday in Lebanon to discover the Jeita Cave, in the mountains behind Beirut, where you can marvel at some of the world's largest stalactites as you navigate an underground river.
