Hi! I’m Nidal Majdalani

My website www.nidalmajdalani.com is under construction.

Welcome to my blog, where my passion for hiking, writing, photography, and love for Lebanon come together. I am a journalist, travel writer & photographer, environmentalist, hiker, and an experienced business and website consultant. Currently, I am working for Lonely Planet as a travel writer and on-ground researcher, beside being a freelance journalist at Annahar newspaper since 2018. I also have the honor to be a jury member at Epica Awards for 2023, beside establishing various governmental and non-governmental collaborations.

My journey started as a personal escape to nature, but soon I realized the importance of sharing my experiences. Being my lifestyle for over a decade now, and as a self-funded traveler, I have covered countless areas all over Lebanon, capturing breathtaking photos and discovering hidden gems that are not exposed. My love for Lebanon and its nature goes beyond words, and my mission since 2016 is to promote ecotourism, reforestation, and the protection of our heritage and natural resources. It is worth mentioning that I was a full-time staff in a Finance department for many years, being a holder of a Masters degree in Business Administration from AUB, and I am applying my vast expertise in my new business and tourism projects.

Being the only person in Lebanon so far to have hiked the country, photographed it extensively, and published widely about its several magnificent richness on prominent websites and magazines, I was and still am determined to use my platforms to encourage more people to discover the beauty of Lebanon, hence promoting internal responsible tourism. My mission extends to create a sense of belonging among the Lebanese people and limit immigration, while encouraging responsible internal tourism as was clearly stated in my interview with Annahar Newspaper back in 2018.

In addition to my passion for hiking and road trips, I also have profound expertise in creating itineraries that cater to different interests and fitness levels, beside vacation getaways, and every escape your heart desires. The first online photo-based tourism reference in Lebanon was prepared and published by me as a personal initiative on my blog and Annahar website and newspaper, back in 2019, verified by the Ministry of Tourism and stamped by the Prime Minister then.

In parallel to my widely shared tourism articles, I have collaborated with the Ministry of Tourism and Environment to promote rural tourism and support local communities, in addition to the Association of Travel and Tourist agents-ATTAL– last December. I am their Business Website Consultant and the sponsor of Lebanon’s Beauty & Tourism section, sharing my copyrighted images of every area of Lebanon and every aspect of its tourism.
