I am looking for 4TripMates who are interested in visiting Lebanon this Summer on a guided trip. As a local, I believe I have the best spots and places in mind to make an unforgettable experience and create lifelong memories together. About Lebanon ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Known as the Paris of the Middle East for a reason, Lebanon is one of the best countries in the Region by far. It is known for its beautiful mountains and landscapes, thousands years of history, natural beaches, a local cuisine that attracts millions of people worldwide, and arguably the best Nightlife I have ever experienced. Did I tell you the best part? You can do all these within the same day as its a very small country and possibly the only country where you can ski in the morning &swim in the afternoon on the same day and that's a fun fact๐Ÿ˜‰ About the trip ๐Ÿ˜ŽI am looking for like-minded people who are looking to have their best time with me this summer. TripMates should enjoy cultural historical sites, FOOD(I mean who doesn't ๐Ÿ˜œ), Beach, Nightlife, and Hikes. We will be visiting Beirut the capital of Lebanon in addition to cities like Byblos, Batroun, etc Costs๐Ÿ’ฒ For this guided trip, I will be renting an Airbnb in the city and will be using my own car to take care of all our activities. The cost per person is 600โ‚ฌ which includes: - Accommodation cost for a week (Shared airbnb rooms) - Transportation costs - Service fees - Some local entrances to historical sites Costs don't include flight tickets, visa fees (if needed), and personal expenses which means food&beverages.

Something you'll notice along the way is that Lebanese people LOVE LIFE ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿน and all these places need booking ahead of time as they will be packed most of the time.

Night-time: Have you ever wondered what its like to be above the clouds? Have you ever enjoyed music while watching the sunset above the clouds? Then you'll experience one of the best yet favorite sunsets ever. I will book a table at a special bar in the mountains around sunset time to enjoy spectacular views with drinks and DJ playing all night.

Day 7
Day-Time: We will head towards Afqa. Considering it's an easy hike to reach the waterfall of Afqa, everyone can easily do it. We will chill by the waterfall and take as many pictures as we want. It's a very cool spot with a great view. We will have late lunch at Shawarma Joseph in Beirut, one of the best shawarma in town and was rated actually as the best sandwich in 2015.
