All you need to do
in order to have a perfect summer day when you are in Lebanon is to make a
choice and to let yourself enjoy the fun, and remember you can't go wrong,
because there aren't really any bad options. |
|
Shopping: |
|
First class experience, first class shopping. Over
the last decade, Beirut has been turning in to a fashion capital, and it has
done it beautifully and in style. The latest from all famous designer names,
Prada, Gucci, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and much much more, as well as the
cheap and chic casual brands, will certainly meet all tastes and budgets.
You probably wouldn't and shouldn't beat the temptation to shop while you
are in Lebanon; it is just too good to be ignored, and no trip to Beirut is
complete without a visit to the country's Magnificent Miles. |

The Beaches: |
|
If you decide you want to spend a day at the
beach, you will have a long list of options to pick from. First you will
need to decide weather you want to go to a sandy beach, and in this case
vote for either, Tyer, Jiyeh and Byblos, or to a rocky beach, and in this
case go to Batroun. Resorts in the above mentioned places offer a lot of
activities, including Ski doo and Parachuting. If you are looking for exotic
fun and a lot of glamour, you should also visit some of the resorts in this
area. Some famous and very trendy resorts include La Voile Bleue and Bamboo
Bay in Jiyeh, Paradise Beach in Byblos and many others.
If you are tight on time, you could stay in
Beirut, relax, catch a nice tan and enjoy a drink by the Pool of the many
resorts the capital hosts. Famous resorts include the Riviera, the
Movenpick, the Sheraton, the Saint-Georges, Portemilio and Samaya... |

The
Mountains: |
|
Away from the coast noise and the heat, a day at
the mountains is an experience no visitor should miss. This is in fact a
recipe for relaxation. Beautiful forests, glorious rivers, and great food.
Make sure you talk to people. They are warm and pleasant and would love to
tell you about their hometown. There is along list for good locations with
picturesque scenes that are fit for picnics, including all the small towns
in the famous Lebanese mountains. An increasing number of tour organizers
are offering arranged trips in groups to exquisite locations. |

Sightseeing: |
|
With so much to do while you are here, you may be
tempted to skip the sightseeing. Don't.
Try to give at least a couple of days for such
activities. Baalbeck, Byblos, and Geitta are undoubtedly not be missed. |

Eating out
and Clubbing: |
|
One thing Lebanon is most well know for, is good
food. One thing the Lebanese people are most well know for is their love for
good life. Blend the two, and the outcome would be an unrivaled scene of
hospitality, fun, and well being. In fact, Lebanese cuisine, is rich,
healthy and light. Most famous dishes are Tabboule, Kibbeh Nayyeh, Warak
Arish, and Homos.
