Agritourism Experience 5D/4N

Adding Green to your Life

Authentic and experiential tourism has gained more attention as travelers are seeking a return to nature, the outdoors, and different leisure opportunities. Travelers have become more concerned about the food they are eating and are looking for healthier products. One of those new travel segments to emerge is Agritourism. Lebanon’s climate and landscape diversity allows a great variety of crops and plants to flourish around the year. Following the emerging demand, many places around the country have started offering cherry picking, almonds in May-July, vegetables in summer, apples, grapes and olives in October. Animal farm visits can be done around the year.
