Book Cheap Flights to Lebanon

Situated at the crossroads of the mystical Arabian hinterland and glittering Mediterranean Basin, Lebanon is a country with an irresistible cultural identity.

From the snowy tips of Mount Lebanon and the ancient Roman cities in the Biqa Valley, to the cosmopolitan energy of Beruit and mysterious Mediterranean charm of Byblos, the curious juxtapositions of this country are not restricted to culture.

Lebanon invites you to venture off the beaten track and lose yourself in its enchanting tapestry of cinnamon and mint hues and unique Middle Eastern charm. Spend your days schussing down the snowy slopes of Mzaar Kfardebian, exploring the historical cities of Baalbek, delving into the underground world of Jeita Grotto, or basking on the beaches of Tyre.

For a taste of Lebanese culture, visit the Souk Al-Harajb in Tripoli, surrender to the decadent nightlife of Beruit, get lost in a museum, and try local dishes such as kibbe nayeh. The Sidon Soap Museum and Baatara Gorge Waterfall are also must-see attractions.

Due to the conflict in the neighbouring countries of Syria and Israel, there are certain risks when travelling to Lebanon. Research should be done beforehand on which areas to avoid, and it is recommended that you stay up-to-date with the security situation throughout your stay. Travel insurance to cover theft and medical expenses is also recommended.

Avoid all travel to the areas bordering Syria and Israel. Steer clear of large gatherings and public demonstrations. Avoid carrying large sums of cash and valuables, as pick-pocketing and robberies do happen. Only reputable taxi services should be used. Stick to well-used roads and paths in the southern regions, as unexploded landmines are common. You should familiarise yourself with the local laws and customs before arriving. Lebanese law requires that you carry an ID at all times.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) has been reported in Lebanon, so precautions should be taken to avoid contact with infected people and animals.
