Are you always wondering about what to do in the weekend? Wanting something fun to do with friends other than just simply going to the beach, or a road trip to the mountains? Well first of all, summer is not over yet! The sun is shining and the temperatures are still high so all we have to do is enjoy the remaining sunny days outdoors and here are some suggestions for you, the thrill seekers:

-       Paragliding

One of the best views is seeing Lebanon from above and that usually only happens when you are on an airplane coming back to our beloved Lebanon. However, paragliding gives you the experience of floating in the air while being attached to a parachute, feeling the wind on your face, and getting that adrenaline rush while running for takeoff.

Most of the flights take place over and around the breathtaking Jounieh bay, which is to me, the   best part of Lebanon!

-       Scuba Diving

Dive into the Mediterranean, encounter remains from the past and see the "Under the Sea" life up close and personal.

-       Cliff Diving

Believe it or not, Lebanon has several excellent places for cliff diving, however caution and responsibility are highly advised. Don't take the risk, learn about the area beforehand. At first you might be hesitant to jump, stay strong, feel the blood pumping in your body and JUMP!

-       Fly board

One of the latest and trendy water sports; shoot yourself up in the air while having your feet attached to a board. Have an "iron man" moment and enjoy hovering over the waves.

-       ATV

Plan a hiking or road trip with friends and then decide to rent some ATVs. Explore the insides of Lebanon and get adventurous as you go through the incredible mountain sceneries. Enjoying the rocky and green landscapes in a new and exciting way and hanging out with friends as you ride is what it is all about.

-       Rafting

Rafting is a great teamwork experience to be done with friends, work your muscles as you try to survive the rough waters. Seize the moment and try to snap some great pictures with a go pro, as you go, however remember to attach the go pro properly so you don't lose it.

-       Wake Boarding / Water ski

When it's sunny outside, it's all about enjoying the Mediterranean. Although the beach is nice, its more exciting to head out into the open water and challenge your balancing skills while speeding behind the boat.

-       Bungee Jumping

Throughout the summer, some festivals offer temporary bungee jumping sites across the country. Close your eyes, take a deep breathe, and jump! Feel the adrenaline rush stronger than ever as you scream your longs out while you watch the ground getting closer and closer with every second.

-       Paint Ball

Paint Ball is a great way to enjoy an afternoon with a group of friends. Play the role of a soldier in a battle field as you run and hide from the bullets. Don't forget to wear thick clothes, or rent the jump suit so you don't get too bruised !
