Adventure

Perhaps surprisingly, Lebanon’s landscape is ideal for outdoor activities. Its beautiful mountains and valleys host some attractive hiking trails and offer amazing views for paragliding. Lebanon’s coastline attracts all kinds of water sports and the country’s rivers and caves are perfectly suitable for rafting and caving. During wintertime, when Lebanon’s mountains are covered in snow, skiing and snowboarding become the number one activities. For a taste of Lebanon's nightlife, the country offers plenty of options.
