Lebanon, a captivating jewel in the Middle East where ancient history meets vibrant Mediterranean culture, offers an extraordinary travel experience. From the majestic peaks of Mount Lebanon and the ancient Roman ruins of Baalbek to the lively, cosmopolitan energy of Beirut and the gorgeous Mediterranean coastline, Lebanon boasts a rich tapestry of heritage and natural beauty.
Socializing and culinary hospitality are central to Lebanese life, perfectly complementing their world-famous mezze culture. Locals love enjoying refreshing local lagers like Almaza, exceptional wines from the historic Bekaa Valley, and—most iconic of all—Arak, a potent anise-flavored spirit traditionally mixed with water and ice that turns milky white, shared generously during long, celebratory family banquets.
A warm and festive way to say cheers when raising a glass in Lebanon is Kassawa! (or Kasak!).
