Lebanon is a tiny Mediterranean country with an outsized personality — a place where Roman ruins, Ottoman mosques, and art-deco buildings jostle for space in Beirut, and where you can ski in the morning and swim in the afternoon. Its cuisine is legendary, its nightlife pulsing, and its people famously warm. Despite recent hardships, the country’s resilience and layered history make it a uniquely compelling destination for travelers who want something beyond the usual.
