The Marrakech listing
More personal than a hotel, more exciting than a travel package: AirBnB has changed the way the world travels. Opening our homes to voyagers is an ancient custom that is an integral part of our culture, so we’ve always secretly known how good it feels to be a host!
But on the other side of the equation there’s also the role of the traveller, and when we pick up our bags, then we want to experience something specific: resting, exploring, and expanding our horizons. Here’s a list of some of the most unique Airbnbs in the whole region that are guaranteed to give you the trip of a lifetime:
Beirut, Lebanon
