Why Beirut? Why Lebanon?
It's one of the World's Best Cities, also called as "Paris of the Middle East"
“Beirut. The food’s delicious, the people are awesome. It’s a party town… Hopefully, you will come back smarter about the world. You’ll understand a little more about how uninformed people are when they talk about that part of the world. You’ll come back as I did: changed and cautiously hopeful and confused in the best possible way. Travel at its best defies expectations… That’s part of the thing that makes Beirut so interesting.“
-Anthony Bourdain (CNN Host and World Renowned Chef)
“If you’re looking for the real East-meets-West so talked about in the Middle East, you need look no further than Beirut. …Blessed with magnificent mountain vistas, majestic ancient ruins and a people who are resilient, indomitable and renowned for their hospitality, Lebanon rewards the traveller with food for thought and a feast for the senses and the stomach.”
-Lonely Planet
