Lebanese People Can Visit These 36 Countries Without A Visa

You’ll notice there are lots of Islands. Lots and lots (we didn’t think it was actually possible to get bored of islands). However, there are also some European, African and Asian getaways that are not to be forgotten about! All those countries offer entry with a visa on arrival.

1. Armenia

From the hospitable people you meet, to the delicious restaurants, us Lebanese already feel acquainted with Armenian culture and people. However, visiting Armenia is completely different. You’ll be in awe at it’s beauty while not feeling too far away from home. This is one trip that we highly recommend.

2. Bolivia

Slightly further away in South America is this gem of a country that is home to the most indigenous people in the world. Exotic wildlife call Bolovia home, including monkeys with moustaches! Experience a new culture and the remarkable landscape in the city of Sucre which we highly recommend.

3. Cambodia

Cambodia is another natural paradise situated in South East Asia where you can experience ancient remains, scenic blue waters and enjoy the exciting Cambodian culture.

4. Cape Verde

That water says it all.

5. Comoros

Not a painting, just a real African coast!

This African coastal country will leave you in awe at its beauty.

12. Indonesia

Indonesia is one of South East Asia’s popular hotspots, attracting tourists looking for a relaxing getaway, or backpackers trekking through and intimately discovering the country. Home to the popular Bali, you can visit for the parties, the yoga retreats or simply to kick back and relax in one of the jaw-dropping resorts.

13. Iran

Iran may not be on the top of your vacation list, however, we do recommend it. You can enjoy the old Persian architecture, mouth-watering Iranian food and the incredible traditions.

14. Jordan

One of our safer neighbouring countries, Jordan is home to a whole bunch of treasures. From the dead sea, to the historic Petra, take a short plane ride from Beirut and find yourself transported to another world.

15. Laos

Laos is another great South East Asia destination. Known for its exotic beauty, history and nightlife, this is an enriching holiday destination for you and your friends. Make sure to visit the incredible temples situated around the country!

22. Mozambique

Beach, sun, sand = perfection.

23. Nepal

Nepal is home to ancient history and culture, as well as breath-taking views and mountains.

24. Niue

Luckily, Niue isn’t a well known holiday destination so why don’t we take advantage of this visa-free paradise before it gets all over Instagram. The Blairgowrie rock pools are a version of the Batroun caves (we still prefer Batroun!), and something we highly recommend.

25. Oman
