Tour Plan
01
A Proper Lebanese Breakfast
We’ll start the day where breakfast is still made the old-fashioned way. Imagine a sizzling pan, warm foul with lemon and olive oil, creamy hummus, Yogurt Fatteh... Simple, filling, and full of love.
- Breakfast selection
02
Heavenly Crunchy Meat Pies
Next, we walk to a little bakery that’s been making lahme b aajin the same way for over 60 years. Thin dough, juicy spiced meat, baked until it crackles, and topped with a squeeze of lemon. One bite, and you’ll get why people keep on coming back.

03
Relax in a Hidden Garden
Time to pause. We’ll relax in a peaceful little café garden tucked behind old buildings, a quiet break from the city buzz. Choose between a strong Lebanese coffee, herbal tea, or a refreshing juice while we unwind and chat.
- Coffee, Tea, or other refreshment
04
That Shawarma You’ve Heard About
You’ve probably seen it in food videos. Juicy chicken turning on a spit, sliced paper-thin, wrapped with garlic, pickles, and crispy fries in a warm pita. It’s the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes and enjoy. This bite is pure magic.
- Choice of chicken or beef shawarma
05
Old-School Lebanese Sweets
We’ll stop by one of Beirut’s oldest sweet spots for a little piece of heaven, a bite of Mloukiyyeh: soft, rose-scented layers of tender pastry, crushed pistachios, and clotted cream. Sweet, but never too much, just the way we like it.
06
Crispy Falafel Wrap
We’ll end strong with a falafel sandwich that’s crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, loaded with radish, mint, pickles, and creamy tarator. Freshly fried in front of you, wrapped up warm. This is Beirut street food at its best.
07
Stretch, Smile, Digest
We’ll take a short walk for those who feel like it. It’s a sweet ending to a day filled with tasty bites, and happy bellies.
