Lebanon's narrow coastal plain is the setting for its principal cities, and for wonderful Lebanon holidays.
Lebanon holidays with Abercrombie & Kent will get you close to the people, cultural and traditions of this ancient gem of the Middle East.
Begin your Lebanon holiday in the capital Beirut. This once social and commercial hub of the Levant makes a fascinating destination for a long weekend with a difference. Travel on to Byblos, a powerful city-state before the heyday of Greece and Rome, and still with many relics of the past. Holidays 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 the site of the Cedars of Lebanon. Numbering around 400, they are said to have originated in the time of King Solomon; many today are more than 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 all holidays to Lebanon.
