To be honest, no specific amount of photos can deliver the beauty of Lebanon, but after wandering around my country ever since I was a teenager, I thought it was time to compile a list of beautiful photos and places around Lebanon.
No matter how many times I visit the same places or discover new locations, I am always in awe of how beautiful the different sceneries present to me. I am proud to say that I have been to a lot of places in Lebanon, sharing my experiences and photos along the way; but, I still have a lot more to discover in this tiny place I call home.
And, there’s no better tourist than being one in your own country.
Lebanon is next level beautiful, so here are 33 of my favorite photos that I’m hoping will make you fall in love in Lebanon as much as I.
All photos have been created by Haytham and me on our many adventures together throughout Lebanon. You can check out more of his work here.
Kfarhelda
A 20 minute hike to get to Kfarhelda’s main waterfall attraction. You can also enjoy a couple of smaller ones along the trail.
Sirjbel, Chouf
Check out this waterfall if you’re in the Chouf area. Make sure you take a 3m jump into the freezing water! You will not regret it.
Ghabat al Ozor, Akkar
We were finishing our hike through this forest as the fog started settling in; what a view for the eyes!
Akoura
The Via Ferrata hike in Akoura is a must-do if you’re visiting this Lebanese town. You will get a view of the whole village when you reach this spot.

One of Lebanon’s many Cedar Reserves where you can enjoy views of the famous Lebanese Cedars. Check out this blog post to discover 6 cedar reserves to visit.
Wadi al Salib
We try to hike here at least once a year, in different seasons. We have seen Wadi al Salib in snow, covered in autumn leaves, and full of flowers & petals. No wonder it’s mom’s favorite hiking trail.
