Lebanon: Pearl of the Middle East - World Holiday Vibes Blog, Good Vibes Only
SHARE

The “Pearl of the Middle East” is Lebanon. Lebanon is a beautiful pearl found hidden within an oyster in the most unlikely place, a well-hidden pearl of refinement and beauty in the Mediterranean. Another term for it is “Switzerland of the Middle East.” Its snow-capped mountains, which receive fresh snow each winter, and pleasant weather have made it, like the Swiss Alps, a popular winter sports destination.

The capital of Lebanon, Beirut, is a must-see destination. Beirut is recognised as the “Middle East’s Paris” for one reason; it is a fantastic shopping destination. Beirut is one of the safest places in the country, and female travellers can usually dress however they want here. Not many cities have a vibe quite like Beirut. The unique mix between old and new, war and peace, makes for exciting city walks. This place is also constantly bustling with activity and will leave you invigorated. Its cosmopolitan atmosphere and sheer defiance will make you want to join in the mix.

Lebanon is unquestionably one of the world’s most historically significant countries, with many archaeological remains and historic landmarks ranging from ancient Roman ruins to well-preserved castles. The Lebanese are tremendously proud of their shared cultural history, and it’s even been dubbed “Home of Great Roman Ruins” since it still has some of the best-preserved Roman ruins. If you enjoy history, Lebanon is a must-see destination.

Anjar, Baalbek, Byblos, Ouadi Qadisha, and Tyre are Lebanon’s five UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Tyre was one of Phoenicia’s two most powerful city-states, and it was their most significant harbour. On the Lebanese shore, Tyre stands tall, reflecting legacy, power, authenticity, and love. Do you wish to be a part of this magnificent city’s blessings? Then make plans for your trip to Lebanon as soon as possible.

Lebanon has some attractive castles. One of the most famous castles in Lebanon is Citadel Saint-Gilles; everything about the fortress speaks of its inhabitants’ readiness for war. Beaufort Castle, Smar Jbeil, Sidon Sea Castle, Byblos castle, Citadel of Mustapha Barbar Agha, Mseilha fort, Moussa castle, Saint Louise castle, Tebnine castle are some other castles you need to visit.

Lebanon is a lovely and diverse country, with mountains on one side and the Mediterranean on the other side. The Mediterranean Sea (Med) is lined with ancient towns with Roman remains and magnificent vistas of the sea. This small country is loaded with the blue coast and rocky shoreline sprinkled with sandy pockets, white-coated evergreen mountains, lush green valleys, and cascades pooling into calm rivers and ponds. The vista of the sea and horizon is a symbol of hope. It’s as if there’s always something new to discover, which motivates us to keep going. It is multicultural and diverse in all aspects of life, with something for everyone. Something new to learn is constantly available. As a result, it is evident that Lebanon ticks all the boxes on every tourist’s wish list.

Let us probe into food, fashion, and fun. Lebanese food is among the healthiest globally due to the items used and how they are prepared. Most of us feel that healthy foods do not taste good, but they create authentic flavours that leave you dumbfounded. Hummus, baba ghanoush, shish taouk, kibbe nayeh, manakeesh, falafel, tabbouleh, fattoush, shawarma, kofta, kunafeh, and baklava are some of the dishes to sample. (Lebanese think of baklava as gold).

Lebanon is a significant fashion capital of the region. Designers like Elie Saab, Reem Acra and Zuhair Murad started their careers in Beirut. The people are fashion conscious, and most men and women dress in trendy, primarily European-style clothing. You are free to wear however you like but be aware that some areas are more conservative than others. So, be mindful of the type of location you’ll be visiting and dress appropriately.

How can you have fun in Lebanon?

Lebanese party like no other, from small family get-togethers to nightclubs and concerts. No one has a good time like the Lebanese. Places like Iris, Yukunkun and the Garten are only some of the places to have a good time.

Here are some facts that we should keep in mind when exploring Lebanon;

We should not think touring around Dahiyeh is okay. Service around Beirut costs a dollar, but when a driver says “taxi”, he will be taking a lot more money from you, so be aware. Refrain from wearing mini shorts around Tripoli and Saida. Let the Connex be the only bus you get into as it is super safe, and don’t get into random buses because if you don’t speak Arabic, it will be challenging to reach the destination. Don’t stay in Beirut and think you have experienced Lebanon. Don’t only eat at high-end restaurants Downtown. In most countries, we are advised not to eat on the streets. In Lebanon, it is the other way around. So, balance out your meals between street food and restaurants. Please do not take pictures of women wearing hijab or niqab. It is illegal to take photos of the army. These are a few things you should avoid.

Lebanon is the Middle East’s safest country. A fantastic destination for tourists, particularly women. Nowhere else can we find raw honesty and self-awareness like the Lebanese! It has a kind and inviting populace, and Lebanese people are friendly and helpful to one another. One of Lebanon’s most attractive features is comfort and affection.

Lebanon is tiny in size but gigantic in its influence. Therefore, it is an excellent destination to add to your bucket list this year. Yes, it is worth a visit. So, why are you holding out? It’s time to start planning your trip.

Hiya! I’m Iqra Hyatt, a Vibes Group UK content creator who enjoys writing. I enjoy exposing myself to new and exciting environments. I also appreciate coming up with new ways to share knowledge with travellers by creating new materials. Everyone deserves a break from the screen now and then to avoid reality. Travel allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the present moment, allowing us to be anybody, go anywhere, and do whatever we desire. As a result, I’d want to share the results of my research through fantastic articles on holiday destinations. You don’t need a magic trick or a magical location to melt a barricade; you need a desperate desire to travel and an excellent choice. My heart longs to travel the length and breadth of infinity. Find an undiscovered location and learn new skills that will set you apart from the crowd! Have a pretty good day! Good vibes only!
