We had an amazing, full day with Ali of Habibi Tours. Ali’s communication before our trip was excellent, and he picked us up right at our hotel near AUB. Our first stop was Jeita Grotto, where we walked through the first cavern, then took the fun boat ride through a second cavern. Next we continued to Batroun to walk around a bit and see the Phoenician wall followed by a quick stop at Chez Hilmi for the local lemonade. Ali’s company and conversation were wonderful throughout. We were a little ahead of schedule so Ali asked if we’d like to visit a beach, since the weather and sea were perfect. We said yes, and had a quick swim at Joining Beach. (Be sure to bring a suit and towel just in case!) Next stop was Byblos to see the ancient ruins and small souks. After a late lunch we headed back to Beirut. Everything about our tour was great. Spending the day with Ali was like visiting an old friend in a new place. Highly recommended!

We will visit both Shahabi Citadel in Hasbaya and the Citadel of Independence in Rachaya. 'Em Shratit' is a hidden gem, being unfamiliar to millennial generation. It has the oldest tree in Lebanon that makes wishes come true, as per the myth. We continue to look in on the Beaufort Castle in Arnoun village, stronghold for the crusaders against Salah Eldin. The crucial part of the trip, the Lebanese borders to check out the prominent Fatima Gate from where you can see occupied Palestine.

I stayed in a Cheez Hospitality property for a month while living in Beirut for work. I have to say that Cheez Hospitality is the best company for short-term and long-term stays in Lebanon! I was so lucky to be introduced to Joe, Fadel, and Bashir who not only were professional but incredibly kind, generous, and friendly. As the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading throughout the country, they made an effort to check-in on me, connect on a personal level, and even share their food with me. I simply cannot forget the homemade Lebanese dishes cooked by their moms and will return to Lebanon to join them once again sometime soon. Forever grateful for the support, care, and professionalism, and I highly encourage anyone to stay in any of their incredible properties located in very central locations across the country.

Immerse yourself in history as you explore Tyre and Sidon, the two most important cities of Phoenicia. . Tyre was the great Phoenician city that reigned over the seas and founded prosperous colonies and it is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world with many ancient sites, including the Tyre Hippodrome. Sidon was one of the most important Phoenician cities, and it may have been the oldest. Explore both cities in one day, hearing fascinating commentary about each spot without having to drive or plan an itinerary with a final stop at Maghdouché's most famous landmark, the tower of Our Lady of Mantara, which is a Marian shrine that is believed to have been the resting place of the Virgin Mary as she waited for Jesus while he preached in Sidon.

I recently visited Baalbek, Qadisha Valley, Sidon, Tyre, Chouf Mountains, Byblos, Batroun, Tripoli and enjoyed the tours organized by Lebanon Tours and Travels. The day tours are well designed to include essential sites, lunch with local flavors, and some with local guides. My driver/guide Albert is professional and friendly who has made the trip a memorable experience. The tour company is also helpful on many requests including taking you to a PCR test if needed. Lebanon is a beautiful country with amazing history and culture, and this tour company is highly recommended if you get to visit.
