Beirut is the city that never sleeps, with something happening all the time. Denizens of the city love to hang out, whether it's a cool club, trendy pub, or café.
They also love to dine in restaurants everywhere.

Beirut comes alive as a blaze of lights at night. Start your visit in the famous downtown district; take a walk in the lovely refreshing and friendly atmosphere, discover the beautiful items in many of the late-night opening shops, or have a cup of coffee in one of the many cafés in the area.

When it comes to dining you can choose between the luxurious famous restaurants with the delicious Lebanese or occidental cuisine, or simply have a nice tasty take away (falafel, kebab…).

Geography & Climate

Although a small country, Lebanon’s varied geographical areas fall into four features. First there is the narrow costal plain where five of Lebanon’s great historical cities developed: Tripoli, Byblos, Beirut, sidon and Tyre. The 220 kilometer-long coastlines is marked by indentations and rocky outcrops wherever the sub-coastal range joins the sea.

The second geographical feature is a north-south mountain range known as Mount Lebanon. Appearing at times to rise abruptly from the sea, Mount Lebanon covers more than a third of the country. Its western slopes are well wooded and are frequently broken by wild valley. The mountains rise gradually over a distance of some 30 kilometers to the highest peaks of Sannine (2,628 meters) and Qornet es Sawda (3,069 meters).

It is Mount Lebanon, or jabel lubnan in Arabic , that gave its name to the country . In fact Lebanon owes its geographical unity to this mountainous range, which is almost entirely contained within its frontiers.

The next of Lebanon’s four areas is the Beqaa valley which is between 8 to 15 Kilometers wide and about 120 Kilometers long form north to south . A fertile plain east of the Mount Lebanon range between 800 and 1,250 meters in elevation, the Beqaa valley was known as the breadbasket of the Roman Empire in ancient times. Still the major agricultural zone of Lebanon, the central area is the most fertile while the southern part is less cultivated, being swampy and full of rocks. It is through the Beqaa that the 140 Kilometers-long Litani River, the longest in the Lebanon, turns to meet the Mediterranean between Sidon and Tyre.

Picture
On the eastern side of the Beqaa, the Anti-Lebanon mountains and Mount Hermon rise. A chain of rocky, almost treeless mountains running parallel to the Lebanon range, the Anti-Lebanon is lower but more complete than Mount Lebanon. These mountains form the frontier between Lebanon and Syria.

Lebanon enjoys an essentially Mediterranean climate with mild, rainy winters and long summers which are warm and humid.

The spring months sometimes witness the so-called Khamseen,a hot, dry wind, but these winds are usually short-lived.
