Earlier this month, the UAE lifted its travel ban on Emiratis traveling to Lebanon so we’ve compiled a list of the most breathtaking spots to see.
Jeita Grotto
Jeita Grotto is one of the Middle East’s greatest natural wonders. The stunning cave system, which extends nearly 9 km into the mountains northeast of Beirut, can be explored by rowing boat.
Deir Al-Qamar
Deir Al-Qamar was home to Lebanon’s rulers during the 17th and 18th centuries and it retains a number of stunning buildings from the time. Beiteddine Palace is a must visit if you are there.
Qadisha Valley
On your way up to the mountain village, you will be mesmerized by the country’s scenery. Allow time to take a relaxing hike through quiet valleys and picturesque mountains.
Baalbek ruins
The Roman temple complex is another Middle Eastern archaeological highlight. In summer, the ruins are the venue for the Baalbeck International Festival.
Rock of Raouche
Raouche is a residential neighborhood in Beirut. Off its coast, you can see Lebanon’s natural landmark, the Pigeons’ Rock.
Saida
The port city of Saida was globally renowned for its glass-making industry. Now, Saida (otherwise known as Sidon) is best known for its sweets and fresh fruits.
