The Middle East has many countries worth
visiting. Of all these countries,
perhaps it is Lebanon which is the most
Captivating. With its very rich and long
history that starts in Tyre during the
Phoenician era to the time of the Roman
Baalbek and his temple to period of
Beirut and then the modern movement of
Khoury.
The mix of modernity and the ancient in
Lebanon is what makes this country a
great place to visit. The country is
famous for the architecture of its
buildings as well as the taste of
modernity that is quite apparent in many
areas. An old sleeping village, Jounieh,
is now alive with activity due to the
glitz brought about by the night clubs,
especially during the summer weekends.
Its capital, Beirut, was once called and is
again trying to regain the title of being the
“Paris of the Orient”. Aside from its hospitable
locals and its interesting culture and history,
Lebanon is simply the opposite of what many
foreigners would think about the Middle East. It
has many skiing activities due mainly for its
numerous mountains. It may be laidback but it is
quite liberal and fun to visit since it does not
have the restrictions that many other Middle
Eastern nations have and this is due to the
multiple cultures composing the Lebanese
community, as a result, Beirut is the region's
night life and clubbing capital.
