✧ Beirut ✧

"Beirut is the Elizabeth Taylor of cities: insane, beautiful, falling apart, aging, and forever drama laden."

Wander through Gemmayze and Mar Mikhael, where every balcony and alleyway tells a story. In downtown Beirut and Martyrs’ Square, witness Lebanon’s resilience.

Feel the city’s creative pulse in Hamra, and soak in tradition at St. George’s Cathedral, the Grand Mosque, and Zaitunay Bay at sunset.

Explore Lebanon’s rich history at the National Museum and the Sursock Museum, and marvel at nature’s artistry at the MIM Mineral Museum.

✧ Keserwan ✧

The ultimate Lebanese trifecta

Discover Lebanon’s natural wonders at Jeita Grotto, where stunning limestone formations and underground rivers create a breathtaking sight.

Ascend to Lady of Harissa via cable car for a sacred sanctuary and panoramic Mediterranean views.

And of course Faraya, (the village where our wedding takes place!) and the beauty of Chabrouh.

✧ Byblos ✧

The lovechild of history and beach vibes

Byblos is where history began—one of the world’s oldest cities, with cobblestone streets that feel like a living history book.

Catch the sunset at the Phoenician Wall, sip Hilmi’s lemonade, then wrap up the day at Colonel Beer, Almaza Bay, Pierre & Friends, or Bolero for good vibes.

✧ Chouf ✧

The city of Emirs, where Cedar forests and timeless villages meet historical palaces.

If Lebanon had a storybook setting, it would be Chouf—a land of ancient palaces, breathtaking nature, and roads steeped in history.

Start in Deir el Qamar, a perfectly preserved village of red-tiled roofs and cobblestone streets. Then, visit Beiteddine Palace, a 19th-century masterpiece of mosaics and grand courtyards (closed Mondays).

For a green escape, walk through the Barouk Cedar Forest, home to the legendary Lamartine Cedar, where nature and history stand timeless.

✧ Qadisha Valley ✧

Hiking through heaven

Explore Qadisha Valley’s dramatic cliffs, lush greenery, and ancient monasteries (St Antonios Koshaya Monastery, Our Lady of Qannoubine) during a memorable hike. Notice the silence? It's because Qadisha means holy in Arameic, the language of Jesus. So it certainly inspires prayers, whether you are a believer or not.

Don't forget to take a walk in the Cedars of God forest in Bsharri, the birthplace of poet Gibran Khalil Gibran.
