One of the main cultural centers of the Middle East, Lebanon is returning to its pre-war tradition of the summer festival.
Throughout the summer months the Lebanese enjoy performances by an array of international stars who appear at archaeological sites such as Baalbeck, Anjar ruines, the palace of Beiteddine, the Roman hippodrome in Tyre, or the Khan el Franj in Sidon.
From early July to the end of August, musical concerts, ballets. Operas and modern dance troupes bring life back to these ancient stones.
To discover the magic of such sites, beautifully illuminated and enhanced by the voices of famous performers, is an unforgettable experience. Besides large number of local summer festivals are organized in the different Lebanese villages and towns.
Winter has its share with al Bustan Festival held in February at Beit-Mery village.
