There are many traits attributed to Lebanese but, perhaps, the most universally acknowledged are a zest for enjoying life, a dogged drive to survive and a warm, welcoming attitude toward guests. When you visit, you will frequently hear the Arabic greeting “ahlan wasahlan," which means "welcome," but is literally translated: “You’ve come to stay with family.”

Beirut is the city of diversity and a multicultural gem; more than ever, it’s buzzing with creativity, and there’s so much to see in the arts, design, fashion, architecture, heritage sites, quiet mountains, beautiful beaches, traditional houses, fabulous art of living or late-night clubbing.
