For Artists/Gallery Representatives Travelling who have no problem with visiting Lebanon at this period of time.
There are many hotels near UNESCO : Verdun area, buzzing with cafes, restaurants, hair-dressers, shopping center, movies and much more. One of my favorites is at Walking distance from UNESCO and to the Beach Side : RAWSHEH (The ROCK) where you see the same sight in the picutre.
We will be TOGETHER on this wonderful journey of Delivering the Peace Message in a REAL Touristic and Artistic experience. Check the link below with the HOTEL details. Our best pick is 4 point Sheraton but many other hotels are available in the vicinity. We have designated a special wall of 25 meters for Galleries.
