When to visit

Lebanon has a Mediterranean climate and experiences long, dry and hot summers, and short, cool winters. Temperatures in July and August range from 15-38°C. In winter, this goes down to 5-10°C. Both spring and autumn are mild transition seasons, though autumn is considerably drier than spring.
