Wether you're a foreigner or Lebanese, you have to come and visit this Natural reserve. It's a sandy island that only opens to visitors for 2 months during summer. The water there is sparkling clean and is perfect for swimming. The only way to visit there is by taking a boat from Mina tripoli. There are several tours available, and they charge by person.

You can also get a bbq set, but it's gonna be a hassle since you wanna carry them with you...
