What’s On Lebanon OCTOBER 2026
Autumn Glow As the golden hues of autumn sweep across the Lebanese landscape, October marks a magical transition from the vibrant warmth of summer to a crisp, cozy serenity. Fall in Lebanon is a season of rich sensory experiences—where the scorching coastal humidity gives way to invigorating mountain breezes, and the dramatic peaks of Mount Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley begin to dress in amber, copper, and bronze.
