Just imagine a massive mirror-like ground for several kilometers. It’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Top cities to visit: Quito, Galapagos Islands

Animals to spot: sea lions, tortoises, exotic birds, marine life

Visa Type: No visa required for Lebanese passport holders

The Galapagos Islands were formed by volcanic eruptions and are famous for having unique wildlife and breathtaking landscapes unlike anywhere else on Earth.  It’s heaven for animal lovers! Imagine getting up close to hundreds of large sea lions, giant tortoises, and exotic birds. You can also go snorkeling and diving with colorful tropical fish, sea horses, and sharks.

The best way to discover them is to go on a 1 or 2-week sailing trip to spot wildlife on the remote islands. The trips are normally quite expensive because special permits are needed to visit the islands (for preservation purposes). It’s still well worth it to make your way to the Galapagos Islands. It will definitely be a trip you will remember for a lifetime.

It’s best to book a tour with one of the local tour operators that can take you around the island for 10 days. Flights are not cheap, but the country itself is very affordable. Several vaccinations for Madagascar are needed before your trip.

The experience will surely give you an adrenaline rush because Gorillas are very territorial. You have to play by their rules when you’re in the jungle.

The country is best known for its Gorillas but offers so much more: chimpanzees, rare birds, the Rwenzori Mountains, Lake Victoria and the Murchison Falls (43-meter waterfall).

The Maldives is pretty much like living in a postcard. The white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and underwater marine life are exceptional. During my 6 day getaway, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. It’s the perfect destination for a romantic getaway or honeymoon.

The country is made up of over 1,000 islands, so the toughest decision you have to make is where to stay. International flights arrive at Male Airport, after which your hotel will arrange for your internal transfer to your chosen island (either by boat, seaplane, or airplane).

This makes it a perfect destination to relax on the beach or to go on some fun adventures such as hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the natural landscapes with a local guide.

No visa required: 5 places to visit with a lebanese passport.

We Lebanese get a bad rap in the international relations circle…so much so that getting a visa to most countries with a Lebanese passport is a grueling process that makes you rethink your entire trip. But the Lebanese passport is good for some things. Currently, it allows visa-free access to 33 countries. Here are some of our favorite spots to which you can travel without a visa.

1. Maldives

The Maldives islands are located in the Indian subcontinent and allow entry to Lebanese passport holders without a visa. You can get around the breathtaking islands by boat, but planes are usually reserved for tourists. The clear blue waters are ideal for snorkeling and diving, but the Maldives are also becoming an increasingly popular surfing destination for those of you who are more inclined to extreme sports.

Only slightly larger than Lebanon, Kosovo is a disputed territory in the Balkans that only recently gained its independence. It is a melting pot of Serbian, Albanian, Romanian, Turkish, and many other cultures, and is the perfect place to experience all those cultures in one place. Known for its historical and archaeological landmarks as well as its nightlife, there’s a lot to do in this beautiful country. One must-see landmark is a 17th century shopping center that was burned down and rebuilt recently. This country has a very rich history and a vibrant present, and is much like the Lebanon of the Balkans.

This South American country is great for when you’ve seen everything. Touristically, Boliva remains largely unexplored and it’s great for experienced travellers who are bored with the usual travel experience. Bolivia is famous for its ‘Death Road’ mountain bike tour (we know, enticing), which allows you to see the country in a unique and exciting way.

4. East Timor

East Timor is located in Southeast Asia and is known to be ideal for scuba diving due to its immaculate beaches and coral reefs. Although tourism isn’t very common in East Timor, this hidden gem hosts one of the most spectacular festivals in the world. Carnivale de Timor is an annual festival that is held every April featuring Timorese costumes, music, dance, and food. Many other foreign embassies participate in the event.

Turkey is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and was visited by over 30 million tourists last year. It’s not hard to see why. The mix of Eastern and Western cultures appeals to many people. You can visit the ancient city of Ephesus to see ruins pre-dating Roman times, or see the many gorgeous mosques and churches in Istanbul, or take a cruise in the Bosphorus Strait. There’s no shortage of things you can do in this incredible country.

The Lebanese passport is currently ranked 96th place on the Guide Passport Index. It is considered one of the lowest ranking passports in the world. Lebanese passport holders have visa-free access to only 45 destinations including Dominica, Madagascar and Seychelles. There are 184 destinations for which a Lebanese passport holder requires to obtain a visa prior to traveling. That is the reason why the passport ranking is low on the overall worldwide mobility score. For major destinations such as the USA and the European Union, Lebanese require to apply for a visa in advance.

There are currently a total of 15 Lebanon passport visa-free countries, 28 Lebanon visa-on-arrival countries, and 2 eTA destinations.

Altogether, Lebanon passport holders can enter a total of 45 destinations—either without a visa, through a visa on arrival, or via an eTA. As a result, the Lebanon passport ranks 96 in the world.

Separate from these Lebanon visa-free countries and visa-on-arrival countries, there are 184 additional destinations which Lebanon passport holders either need a physical visa to enter or an eVisa (i.e. visa required countries).
