A Gourmet Getaway to Lebanon

DAY 1 International Flight

Pack your bags because your Lebanon gourmet getaway begins today. After being fast-tracked through security, relax in the airport lounge before boarding your direct four-hour-and-50-minute flight from London to Beirut, departing in the afternoon. On arrival into the country's fast-paced capital, you will be met at the airport and transferred by car to your luxury hotel where you will be staying for the night. Drop your bags off, freshen up and then make like the Lebanese and paint the town red.

Beirut is the place to pick up the finest Middle Eastern cuisine, a perfect blend of Levantine produce with that added twist of French culinary ingenuity that elevates Lebanese cuisine to the level of world class. We'd recommend ordering delicious shish taouk chicken kebabs with delicious garlic sauce and fattoush salad (with fried pitta bread pieces), washed down with cold Almaza beers or a bottle of Chateau Musar, Lebanon's premier wine producer, and one of the most under-rated wines in the world. Chateau Musar has produced a vintage every year in the last few turbulent decades bar 1976, when the frontline in the civil war ran through the vineyards, preventing the grape harvest.
