We are inviting you to take part in a unique experience that will combine the pleasure of dancing tango with the discovery of Lebanon, a country with a rich history and an ancient civilization predating JC by 5 thousand years.
This 10 day trip will consist of a 4 day tango festival with performances by 3 international couples, 3 days of tango classes, nightly milongas and 3 guided tours of Lebanon.
(Additional information, such as performing, schedule and costs will be specified shortly.)
---------------------------------------
Guided tours:
One day will be devoted to visiting Baalbeck, Lebanon's greatest roman treasure and the spectacular ruins of Anjar.
The second trip will take us to Byblos (the oldest city in the world) and to the Jeita grotto ( giant caverns of stalactites).
The final trip will be spent in the mountains of the Chouf region. Deir al Kamar ("Monastery of the Moon") the palace of Beiteddine, the forest of cedars and the Bekaa plain, ending the day with dining at Kefraya estate, the home of a very reputed Lebanese wine.
Beirut is a rhythmic and vibrant city with a subtle and unexpected mixture of tradition and modernity.
Strolling through the ancient city streets be enchanted by traditional live music pouring out of the authentic Middle Eastern cafes. Here you can dance a dabke ( a Lebanese folk dance), or move on to the more trendy and European style bars to listen to the latest jazz.
Lebanese cuisine is world renowned and a very important aspect of Lebanese life and culture. On this trip you will experience the diversity and bounty of Lebanon's culinary talents.
Tango took hold of Beirut about six years ago and has since become one of the hottest things to do in the city. There are at least five milongas per week for impromptu evening dancing. Beirut is a city that never sleeps and the booming Lebanese nightlife continues well after the late milongas.
Don't miss the ultimate Tango experience and the first tango festival ever in the Middle East.
