Lebanon
A unique blend of east and west with
wonderful reminders of a historical past
Lebanon is an incredible mix of Mediterranean coastline, Roman ruins,
rugged peaks and fertile valleys. Featured in the writings of Homer and
in the Old Testament, its cities were major seaports in Roman times,
just one of many civilisations drawn to this amazing destination.
Today, Lebanon is known for its cosmopolitan style, delightful cuisine
and friendly people. Here you will discover an energetic mix of people
immersed in a beautiful landscape that is made for adventure - snow
skiing, waterskiing, diving and more. Although one of the smallest
countries in the Middle East, Lebanon is also one of the most beautiful
208
and is rich in history, culture and ancient archaeological sites. The
spectacular Roman site of Baalbeck with its huge foundation stones and
beautifully crafted temples is one of the finest in the world.
However, it is the stunning scenery that acts as backdrop to these sites
that sets Lebanon apart. The Mediterranean coastline accentuates the
beauty of Sidon’s sea-castle and the city of Tripoli, while the Chouf
Mountains are where you will find the beautiful Palace of Beiteddine.
Visitors cannot fail to be amazed by this fascinating country.
