Lebanon's Cottage inns Experience

For decades, people from all over the world have loved to visit Beirut to see the “Paris of the Middle East” and enjoy the life of the city. However, throughout all of Lebanon many of the wonderful treasures that are waiting to be discovered are often missed. Some tourists take day trips to the better known sites such as Baalbek or Tripoli. They often see the countryside from the window of a bus, visit the site, and then return to the bustle of the city at night.

One of the main reasons for this is that they don’t know where to stay in the small towns around Lebanon. The DHIAFEE program presents tourists and adventure seekers with options that are off the beaten track, from the hills of rural Jezzine to the historic villages of the Lebanese mountains. The cottage inns that participate in our program offer visitors a chance to see many of the hidden treasures of the country in a traditional, Lebanese setting.

The cultures of the people across Lebanon are as varied as the landscape they live in, from the expansive Bekaa valley, the soft rolling hills of the South, the deep plunging valleys of the north, to the long, beautiful coast. But there are always certain things you can count on: coffee and tea, fresh fruits, sweets, delicious food, warm smiles and hearts, and wonderful friendly people.

No matter where you might choose to explore or what region you find yourself in, you will always find a warm and cozy place to stay through the DHIAFEE Program.
Whether you are interested in nature and eco tourism, a spiritual retreat, or just a weekend getaway, the DHIAFEE Program team and our network of alternative lodgings are ready to assist you.
