Travel: Departures - Return to Lebanon
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TWO MONTHS from today, Lebanon will move one step closer to the tourism mainstream. On 30 September, British Museum Tours (071-323 8895) launches its pioneering tour to the country, a one-week trip taking in Beirut, Byblos, Baalbek, Sidon and Tyre. 'The hotels are preparing for the return of the tourist in 1995,' says Elizabeth King, who runs the museum's travel offshoot and returned from a research trip last month. 'Many itineraries allocate little time in Lebanon itself before moving off to Syria and Jordan at speed. We think it warrants closer attention.'
The tour price of pounds 998 (single supplement pounds 117) includes all transport and half-board accommodation, plus the services of a lecturer from the museum.
