Egyptian Prime Minister Atef Ebeid will travel to Lebanon Wednesday to open electricity plants that Egypt helped repair after they were bombed by Israel earlier this year, the MENA news agency reported. 

He will hold talks with Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, Prime Minister Salim Hoss and speaker of parliament Nabih Berri during his three-day visit, Saturday's edition of the state-owned Al-Gomhuriya newspaper reported.
