Lebanon Travel Guide

An ancient Phoenician and culinary nation on the eastern Mediterranean

🌏 Destination Overview

Lebanon packs ancient civilization, Mediterranean flair and famed food and nightlife along a slender coastline. The capital Beirut was once called the 'Paris of the Middle East,' where the rebuilt old town, seafront promenade and lively restaurants and bars mingle; the Roman temples of Baalbek are among the world's best-preserved and grandest Roman ruins, Byblos is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, and the cedar forests of the northern mountains are the symbol on the flag. Rich in history and tempting cuisine, it is an off-the-beaten-path choice for travelers who love ruins and Mediterranean culture. (The situation in the region is changeable—please check the latest safety advice before travel.)
