About Lebanon
Lebanon, officially the Republic of Lebanon is, by no means, one of the most enchanting and captivating nations of the Middle East, once known as the ‘’Paris of the Orient.’’ It is often considered as Europe’s gateway to Western Asia as well as Asia’s gateway to the Western World. Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, by Syria to the east and north, and by Israel to the south, Lebanon is one of the most visited countries of the world and brings endless opportunities for foreigners. Aside from its hospitable locals and its interesting culture and history, Lebanon is the antithesis of many people’s imaginings of the Middle East.
A truly four season travel destination, summer is traditionally the height of the tourist season, when warm dry weather is almost assured. Lebanon enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year. But Lebanon is also notable for its incredible winter experiences. Lebanese ski resorts have also become a center of vivid animation and wonderful hospitability.
Lebanon is one of the most complex and diverse societies of the world as it has been at times at the heart of the Middle East conflict surrounding the creation of Israel. This is noticed not only in the well-developed, lively and diverse scenes of magical sites of the country but in other domains too. For example, some Lebanese consider that they are Arabs while others don’t. This is more than a topic of discussion amongst the Lebanese people, especially between the Christians and the Muslims.
Lebanon is the most religiously diverse society , a mixture of modernity and the ancient. Lebanon’s cuisine is also considered the richest of the region. From hummus to hommard ( lobster), one may dine like a king. And last but not least fact, Lebanon is a melting pot of many cultures, an incredible variety of languages ( Arabic-official, French and English-widely spoken) and of nationalities ( Arabics-95%, Armenians-4%.)Palestinians, Jews and Persians form more distinct ethnic minorities, all of them in possession of a separate language and a national home area outside of Lebanon.
