Hidden Lebanon Brochure :

Beirut’s oft-invoked “Paris of the East” designation is certainly well deserved, and there is plenty of sightseeing, shopping, cuisine, and nightlife to keep you within the city limits for the duration of your visit to Lebanon. However, also consider the fabulous countryside beyond Beirut if you’re looking for a true taste of Lebanon, an experience best found through a more lengthy exploration of the country’s mountain villages, small seaside towns, and vibrant agricultural hamlets. The Hidden Lebanon brochure invites you to go off the beaten path to explore Lebanon’s historical and cultural treasures, natural wonders, outdoor adventures, traditional cuisine and crafts, and awe-inspiring world heritage sites.
