Lebanon is a great destination for tourism because it combines a rich history, diverse geography, access to modern facilities, great shopping, along with a diverse and hospitable population in a small neat package.
Roughly the size of the US state of Connecticut, Lebanon has a history that goes back over 7000 years to the times of the Phoenicians. And being at the crossroads of three continents it has been traversed and conquered by armies thru the ages, from the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, French and finally achieving its independence in 1944.
It is home to some of the most spectacular Roman ruins outside of Rome itself. The Colossus of Jupiter in the ancient city of Baalbeck is fascinating and unique in its size and preservation.
Natural wonders abound as well. From the Mediterranean Sea on the West the plateau rises sharply on the slopes of Mount Lebanon. Yielding magnificent views. It also makes for an amazing environment where one can sunbath in the morning on the beaches of Beirut and ski in the afternoon on the slopes of the mountains.
Jeita - Lebanon's famous underground caverns feature stalagmites and stalactites in quantity. Complete with an underground river and numerous caves, the area is almost surreal.
But, Lebanon's richest resource is its industrious and enterprising population. Being a target of invasion over the centuries Lebanon's rugged geography served as a haven for minority groups fleeing encroaching invaders. This has made the country a rich microcosm of diversity with 1 different confessional groups represented in Lebanon's government that represents its 4M people. In Lebanon you find Maronites, Greek Catholics, Syrian Catholics, Sunni Muslims, Shiite Muslims, Druze, and Greek Orthodox all living in this small patch of Earth.
Although the country has experiences tremendous political turmoil in the past, today it is relatively stable and offers rich rewards for those who would venture a trip to this delightful country. Give it a try.
Of course, Lebanon is also known throughout the Middle East for an exciting bar and nightclub scene and some of the most beautiful men and women. This by StephenHawking
