• Beirut - 9:00 AM — Hotel pickup, Beirut

Your guide will meet you at your hotel to start the tour — the first destination is Hamra, Beirut’s most diverse and culturally vibrant neighborhood.

• Hamra Street - Manoushe & fresh juice — Hamra

Begin the morning like a true Beiruti — with a manoushe, Lebanon’s cherished flatbread cooked on a domed saj griddle and topped with za’atar, cheese, or kishk. Hamra’s bakeries have been mastering this breakfast favorite for generations. Pair it with a freshly squeezed juice — orange, pomegranate, or avocado — from one of the neighborhood’s famous juice bars. A simple, perfect start to the day.

• Downtown Beirut - Hummus & falafel — Downtown

Travel to Downtown Beirut and head directly to one of the city’s most renowned hummus establishments. Lebanese hummus is unlike anything most visitors have tried before — silky smooth, generously drizzled with olive oil, and served warm with fresh bread. Accompanied by crisp, herb-filled falafel fried to order, this is the heart of Lebanese street food and the dish most visitors remember long after leaving Beirut.

• Downtown Beirut - Lebanese sweets — Downtown

A visit to Downtown Beirut isn’t complete without stopping at one of the city’s famous patisseries. Enjoy a variety of traditional Lebanese sweets — baklava layered with pistachios and rose water syrup, mamoul filled with dates or walnuts, and halawet el jibn, a soft cheese pastry rolled in cream. Lebanon’s sweet-making tradition is among the richest in the Arab world, and these treats are the perfect mid-morning indulgence.

• Mar Mikhael Neighborhood - Shawarma & street bites — Mar Mikhael

Proceed to Beirut’s trendiest neighborhood — Mar Mikhael and the iconic Armenia Street — where old Levantine charm meets the city’s creative spirit. Here you’ll discover some of Beirut’s most famous shawarma spots, where spiced chicken or meat is shaved from a rotating spit and wrapped with garlic sauce, pickles, and tomatoes in fresh bread. Your guide knows exactly which places the locals flock to — and why.

• Beirut - Return to hotel — approx. 1:00 PM

Drop-off at your Beirut hotel after four hours, five neighborhoods, and more food than anticipated — the most delightful way to experience the authentic Beirut.
