Food Tours

The sights and sounds of Lebanon – the baker with his ka’ak hanging on a rod, ringing his bicycle bell to announce lunch on the bustling corniche; the clanging of the coffee cups inviting everyone to enjoy a quick shot of ahwe (coffee) at the mobile coffee bar outside the souk; the sight of the fruit seller pushing a huge trolley stacked with bananas up the hill; the laughter billowing from lively restaurants late into the night; ancient history and breathtaking natural beauty; world-class food and wine; and so much more – I am excited to share this captivating and exotic country and its generous, hospitable people with you.
