Welcome! I’m Nidal Majdalani, a tourism expert, travel writer and photographer who has spent more than a decade exploring Lebanon’s landscapes, heritage and nature with depth and devotion. Through Travelling Lebanon, I document the country’s trails, rivers, sacred sites, villages, heritage and food traditions with the insight of someone who has lived and breathed these stories for years. I served as the Destination Editor for Lebanon in Lonely Planet’s Middle East Guidebook 2024, shaping the country’s most trusted global travel narrative.
