Lebanon is a nature wonderland encapsulating a gorgeous coast, green valleys, and breathtaking mountains.
During the summer season, while nature is in full bloom, many seek the outdoors to enjoy the good weather and fun activities, like hiking, camping, enjoying a Sunday BBQ in the open air, or a relaxing and fun picnic with family or friends in nature.
Picnics, in particular, are a lot of fun in Lebanon and come also with a pack of health, mental, and social benefits.
In addition to affording you a good dose of fresh air and some free vitamin D, it is a great opportunity to bond with your family and friends, and give some enjoyable freedom to the kids.
It also boosts your healthy mood as you let go of stress and enjoy a healthy meal in the arms of Mother Nature.
