Discover food, culture, and adventure with Lebanon Locals. Workshops, tours, and authentic stays you can’t miss this September.
Lebanon is more than just a destination — it’s a mosaic of culture, cuisine, and adventure waiting to be lived. With its breathtaking landscapes and rich history, Lebanon offers experiences that go beyond sightseeing. At Lebanon Locals, we believe the best way to discover this country is through the eyes of its people — locals who know the hidden stories, the flavors, and the spirit that make each journey unforgettable.
September is the perfect time to book. The weather is warm but not overwhelming, the tourist crowds are lighter, and locals are eager to welcome travelers back into their homes, workshops, and guesthouses. Whether you’re a foodie, a history lover, or an adrenaline seeker, here are five experiences you can’t miss this month.
1. Culinary Journeys: Taste Lebanon From the Inside Out 🍴
Food isn’t just something you eat in Lebanon — it’s a way of connecting with heritage. Our culinary workshops are designed to give you an authentic hands-on experience that goes far beyond restaurants.
Take our Shrimp Dynamite Bao Workshop, for example. You’ll craft bao buns from scratch and fill them with bold, spicy flavors in a fun, social cooking session. It’s a chance to learn, taste, and share something new.
Or try something totally different with our Mystic Night Edition Bartending Workshop. Step behind the bar and into a world of flavor, spirits, and a little bit of mystery. From shaking up unique creations to mastering signature mixes, you’ll unlock tricks and confidence that make every night unforgettable.
And for something unique, our Candle Workshop mixes craft with community. Create your own handmade candle while enjoying fresh juice and connecting with other participants in Hostel Beirut’s warm setting. It’s creative, relaxing, and a beautiful souvenir of your journey.
These workshops aren’t just fun. They are part of a growing movement to support local hosts, empower communities, and make sure tourism dollars stay within Lebanon. And the best part? With Lebanon Locals, every booking earns you Travel Credits you can use for your next adventure.
2. Historical Treasures: Walking Through Time 🏛️
Lebanon’s history is one of the richest in the world. From Phoenician ruins to Ottoman architecture, every stone tells a story. But history feels different when you don’t just read about it — you live it.
Join a walking tour in Beirut with one of our experienced guides who’ll show you not just the landmarks, but also the hidden corners that carry memories of the city’s resilience. Learn about old neighborhoods, the impact of the civil war, and how Beirut continues to reinvent itself.
Or head to Batroun and Byblos, two coastal gems that are living museums. Byblos is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with ancient ruins sitting side by side with lively souks and cafés. Batroun, on the other hand, blends beautiful beaches with centuries-old churches and a famous lemonade tradition.
Each tour is more than just a list of dates and facts. Our hosts bring these places to life with personal stories, making history tangible and human.
3. Adventure in Nature: Thrills Beyond the City 🌄
Lebanon might be small, but its landscapes are incredibly diverse. From snowy mountains to Mediterranean shores, the opportunities for adventure are endless.
If you’re seeking an adrenaline rush, paragliding over Jounieh Bay is an experience like no other. Imagine soaring above the coastline, with panoramic views stretching from the mountains to the sea.
For nature lovers, hiking in the Chouf mountains or exploring the Akkar region offers trails filled with cedar forests, rivers, and villages untouched by mass tourism. Adventure tours are led by local guides who know every hidden path and are committed to safe, eco-friendly practices.
And if water is your element, try kayaking along Lebanon’s rivers or exploring hidden beaches near Tyre. These activities connect you with nature and remind you of Lebanon’s unique beauty — something worth protecting.
Adventure here isn’t just about the thrill; it’s about creating memories and friendships with locals who share their land with you.
4. Stays With Locals: Beyond Hotels 🏡
Lebanon’s hospitality is legendary, and the best way to experience it is by staying in guesthouses and boutique hotels run by locals. Unlike international chains, these stays are personal, authentic, and full of character.
Picture yourself in a charming guesthouse in Broumana, waking up to mountain views and a homemade breakfast. Or a boutique stay in Batroun, where your hosts recommend hidden beaches and invite you to join their family dinner.
Every stay listed on Lebanon Locals is handpicked and verified to ensure comfort, authenticity, and safety. And because you’re booking directly with locals, your spending goes into strengthening families and communities.
Even better, with our Locals Family Rewards Program, you earn “Cedars 🌲” — Travel Credits you can use on future bookings. It’s our way of building a sustainable, circular economy that benefits both travelers and hosts.
5. Join the Locals Family: More Than a Trip 🌍
Travel is about more than ticking boxes on a list. It’s about connection. With Lebanon Locals, you’re not just booking experiences — you’re joining a family.
Every workshop, tour, and stay is hosted by someone who opens their world to you. Every booking helps create jobs, preserve traditions, and keep communities alive. And every traveler who joins becomes part of our growing Locals Family — people who believe that tourism should be meaningful, sustainable, and rooted in respect.
