Lebanon is a small Mediterranean country where snow-capped mountains rise within sight of the sea, Phoenician and Roman ruins stand beside modern cafes, and food and hospitality are a national art. Arabic is official, French and English are widely spoken, and the currency is the Lebanese pound, though US currency is used almost everywhere.
Why Lebanon for your vacation
Few countries offer so much variety within a two-hour drive. Beirut is a city of contrasts, with a seafront Corniche, the Pigeon Rocks at Raouché, the restaurants and galleries of Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael, and a national museum of exceptional antiquities. North along the coast, Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns on Earth, with a Crusader castle above a fishing harbor, and Batroun offers old souks, beaches and wineries. Inland, the Roman temples of Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley are among the largest ever built, the Jeita Grotto is a vast limestone cave explored by boat, and the Cedars of God grow above the monasteries of the Qadisha Valley. Add Sidon and Tyre in the south, Bekaa wine estates and winter skiing above Beirut, and Lebanon rewards food lovers, history enthusiasts and diaspora families alike.
What's included in a Lebanon package
Every package is tailored, but a typical Lebanon itinerary includes:
- Round-trip flights on major airlines with one connection through a European or Gulf hub to Beirut
- Four- or five-star hotels from well-known brands and independent properties in Beirut, plus optional nights in a mountain lodge, a Byblos boutique hotel or a Bekaa wine estate
- Private transfers between Beirut's airport and your hotel, and a private car and driver for day trips
- Guided excursions: Byblos and the Jeita Grotto with Harissa's cable car; Baalbek, Anjar and a Bekaa winery; the Cedars and Qadisha Valley; or Sidon and Tyre
- Breakfast included at hotels, with lunches at village restaurants arranged on touring days
- Travel protection and a single US-based point of contact throughout
Rates depend on season, hotel level and the number of touring days, so call for current pricing on your dates. Lebanon combines well with Jordan or Egypt.
Best time to visit Lebanon
Lebanon has a Mediterranean climate on the coast and an alpine climate in the mountains. Spring, from April to June, and fall, from September to October, are the most pleasant seasons, with Beirut highs in the 70s and low 80s Fahrenheit, wildflowers in the valleys and comfortable temperatures at Baalbek and the Cedars. July and August are hot and humid on the coast, above 90°F, though mountain villages stay cool and host summer festivals, including the famous concerts at Baalbek. Winter, from December to March, brings rain to Beirut and heavy snow to the mountains, with ski resorts open above 6,000 feet less than an hour from the capital. Lebanon is on UTC+2 with summer daylight time, seven hours ahead of US Eastern Time for most of the year.
Where to stay: areas and resort styles
Most itineraries are based in Beirut with optional nights outside the city.

- See the Sea Castle at Sidon and the Roman hippodrome at Tyre
Getting there from the US
There are no regular nonstop flights between the US and Lebanon, so your package flights connect through a European or Gulf hub to Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport. Total travel time is roughly 13 to 16 hours from East Coast gateways and roughly 18 to 21 hours from the West Coast. US passport holders can generally obtain a tourist visa on arrival with a passport valid for six months, but travelers whose passports show evidence of travel to Israel may be refused entry, so verify entry rules before travel. Security conditions in the region can change; we monitor the US State Department advisory and airline operations for every booking and advise honestly on timing.
Who this package suits
Lebanon appeals to diaspora families visiting relatives who want hotels and touring arranged professionally, to couples who love food and wine, and to history travelers drawn by Baalbek and Byblos. Seniors travel comfortably with a private driver and short distances; ask about our senior travel reservations. Family reunions, church groups and alumni tours use our group travel flights for coordinated departures. Solo travelers are well looked after with private guides. For the long journey, ask about business class or first class fares within your package.
