Answer 4

Answer 5

Anytime is the best time to visit Lebanon. I actually went to Lebanon for 10 days last May and I loved it there.  Though, a Lebanese friend told me that it's very nice to visit their country during Eid season.

The people were wonderful and very friendly to me even though we have the Bush hysteria going on in the Middle East.  They 'love' Americans!  I felt honored and respected.  The environment, the people, and the food are just lovely.  For me, it is one of the perfect spot on this earth!

I saw a large three bedroom apartment with two very large balconies. It was really fantastic! In fact, it made me really wanted to sign a lease on the spot (hahaha).  Anyway that's my story... I would love to visit some similar places in the Middle East.

Answer 6

Almost anytime...  If it's too hot along the coast, you can find cool weather in the mountains.  And if it's cold in the mountains, you can get down to the warmer temperatures along the coast.

For me, favorite times are fall and spring.  But I also enjoy the snows in the winter.

Actually, anytime I can get away to go to Lebanon is fine with me.  I'd rather be there than here where I'm working (in Asia).

Answer 7

Now and take me with you

Answer 8

The Baalbeck festival is in summer and also the Beitteddine festival too.

Any time you come it will be a good time, unless there's a war or something

Answer 9

Lebanon has a temperate Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers and cooler, wet winters.

Summer is generally considered the best time to visit, as there is virtually no rain between June and August, and the temperatures range between about 20-30°C (68-86°F). At this time it is very humid on the coast, but dryer and somewhat cooler (but not cold) in the mountains.

Autumn and spring are also good times to visit, with a bit more rain but without the tourist crowds attracted in summer.

Snow falls for a large part of winter in the mountain regions that form a large portion of the country, and there are numerous ski resorts. However, the coast is still relatively mild, with maximums rarely falling below 13°C (55°F).
