Discover Lebanon

The most beautiful time to visit Lebanon is spring. During April and May, and if your timing is just right, you would be able to live the cliché: Catch the end of the ski season and sunbathe on the coast. Lebanon is ideally suited to an archeological sightseeing tour. The county is small and easy to get around while enjoying several outstanding sites. For the more adventurous, the rugged mountains offer scope for a range of outdoor activities: Hiking, mountain biking, rafting or skiing, are some of your options.
