Our driver Mounaf was amazing, he made sure we felt safe and saw all the important sights.
Mounaf spoke very good English and had a lot of knowledge on the area. He spent the whole day with us and we appreciated his safe driving and the amount of care he took with us all day.
He's really well informed on the history of places, he joined in the fun with us and also helped us get good prices on things. He recommended a good restaurant for a sea front dinner at the end of the day too.
Thankyou Mounaf!

A great day in a country where the UK foreign Office advise against travel . Likely to be because of the high inflation situation. It is safe, the people friendly, like anywhere it needs tourists to progress.
I have been in many grotto's. In Slovenia, UK, my youngest daughter swam in the one in Bermuda, Croatia, Italy, but this one at Jeita is the first time I have boated on a lake in one. It blew me away because I didn't expect to do that. The lake is in the lower chamber. There is an upper chamber to explore. Travel between the two is on a toy train.
Harissa for the Our Lady of Lebanon area is a dominating place as it overlooks the Lebanese coastline. It can be reached by cable car. I was driven up and descended by cable car. The real beauty aside from the spectacular architecture and well kept trees and gardens is the tranquility because it is a holy place.
Byblos has Greek, Roman ruins to see dominated by a well preserved, solid Arabic fort. It has a new town adjoining it beautifully constructed, geared to tourism.
My thanks go to a beautiful lady named Georgina for hosting me. She is well organised, calm, speaks perfect English, and tour guide Leila. Speaks English well and is very knowledgeable.
Give Lebanon a look over a long weekend, it is inexpensive and you won't be disappointed.
