I am writing in so as to establish feedback from our forum regulars in an attempt to ensure a memorable vacation in Lebanon.
I am planning to visit Beirut, Lebanon with my family (kids 15 & 13) for 7-9 nights beginning 8th December 2010 and would very much appreciate your kind feedback.
The issues that I do have to take into consideration are as follows:
1. Accommodation: Apartments vs. Hotels. Considering that accommodation in Beirut in general is somewhat pricey, we seek your advice on this. Our requirement is somewhat basic - a clean place where we can have a good rest for the night and then wake up to freshen ourselves in a clean bathroom.
2. Sightseeing: What would be the attraction in Beirut and its vicinity (taking into consideration that it would be a family outing).
3. Winter fun: We would like to take our kids up the mountains so that they may enjoy themselves frolicking in the snow. We are willing to consider spending a night or two up in the mountains but we also heard that you can make day trips without paying the steep prices.
4. Belly Dancing: Any suggestion as to where we would be able to have a dinner and enjoy a Belly Dance without denting our budget?
5. Shopping: Is Beirut a shopping paradise (price wise)? What are the places to head out for since this is more interesting for my wife?
I await your feedback, ideas and suggestions.
Mr. Right Now
