Fascinating journey around nice landscapes - I had an awesome half day (around 3 hours) traveling around the mountains with a fantastic guide. We had some great chats about many topics during the journey, and he was also very easy going and humorous. As an extra, we stopped at the side of the road overlooking the port on the way back into Beirut. Highly recommended tour!

Thank You Kamel - Given that my friend and I were in Lebanon for only one day, Kamel was able to accommodate our compressed timline and prioritized our travel based on our personal preferences. He even took us around Beirut for a quick tour before we got back to the hotel even though he didn't have to.
Thank you again Kamel and I will definitely hire him and this company again the next time I am in the country.
