Unforgettable Experience In Lebanon

Last summer we came across a great offer with my family at the Warwick Pangea Beach Resort & Spa in Lebanon so we decided to go on an adventure and we quickly booked our tickets. We booked our tickets with British Airways since it was the only available direct flight from London (and got a great ticket deal) to the capital of Lebanon. The flight was very pleasant and the on board service was excellent. The staff were nice and even helped us get tickets to all the local museums in Lebanon. We landed in about 5 hours in Lebanon and we didn't have a problem at the airport since we already had our Visa's and tickets.

Great Ticket Deal

As a person who loves to travel Lebanon looked like a great option. After deciding on traveling to Lebanon I immediately booked my ticket from Athens to the capital of Lebanon, Beirut. I was flying with Aegean as I found a great deal for my tickets. I went through airport security where they checked my return ticket and finally arrived at my hotel in Lebanon. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful with tickets to museums and recommending local guides. All kinds of museums, arts, amazing architecture and lots of traditions and originality are what I experienced in Lebanon. Make sure you get tickets to all the events.
