Things To Do During The Summer In Lebanon [2015]

If you’re coming to Lebanon this weekend for Eid then below is my personal recommendation list:

La Creperie Jounieh

For those of you who don’t know La Creperie yet, it’s is one of Lebanon’s most authentic and beautiful restaurants and has been serving great food since 1968. The restaurant is an 18th Century Picturesque Ottoman House that offers a breathtaking view across the Jounieh bay. An ideal place for a late afternoon meal, sunset drinksor a Sunday family lunch.
