Lebanon Holidays

Lebanon's narrow coastal plain is the setting for its principal cities – and for wonderful holidays in Lebanon.  

Your holiday in Lebanon with Abercrombie & Kent will get you close to the people, cultural and traditions of this ancient gem of the Middle East.

Begin your holiday in Lebanon at Beirut, the capital and once the social and commercial hub of the Levant.  Travel on to Byblos, a powerful city-state before the heyday of Greece and Rome, and still with many relics of the past.

Every holiday in Lebanon should also take in Tripoli, with its monuments originating from the Islamic era, Tyre, first made wealthy by the Phoenicians' famous purple dye and whose empire founded Carthage, and Sidon, the oldest of the Phoenician cities.

Further afield, your Lebanon holiday experience must include the mountains that run parallel to the coast and site of the Cedars of Lebanon (around 400 in number) - said to have originated in the time of King Solomon, many are over 1,500 years old. Further east stretches the fertile Beqaa Valley (centre of Lebanon's wine industry) where stands one of the world's greatest historical sites, the Roman temples of Baalbeck, awe-inspiring in their size and unforgettable in their artistry - a must see for every Lebanon holiday.

Beirut also makes a fascinating destination for a long weekend with a difference. 

Pricing
At A&K all of our journeys are individually tailored to suit your needs and timescale. However, as a guide, a 7 night journey in Lebanon will cost from £1,995 per person based on two adults sharing with flights from the UK and subject to availability.
