Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiRanked by the New York Times as the number one tourist destination for 2009, Lebanon is considered one of the most captivating Middle East countries in the region. From the rich scenery along the Mediterranean to the mountains and valleys opposite, the country is full of ancient history from several different times in history, such as the Roman and Phoenician empires. A country where you can ski in the morning hours, yet spend the afternoon the beach, Lebanon is a wonder to behold.
The country borders the Mediterranean, with Syria and Israel as its neighbors. Due to the political climate of the region, it is considered wise to check with your local embassy before traveling to Lebanon to determine which areas of the country are safe or not. Lebanon is accessible to all levels of travelers, although common sense is the best bet when dealing with political hot-spots. Stay away from rallies and keep up-to-date on news reports.
Lebanon is a country with an amazing backdrop of history. From the Roman temple at Baalbek to the Phoenician ruins of Tyre, or the medieval wonders to behold in Tripoli, and the ancient harbor of Byblos, there are a plethora of sights and sounds just waiting to delight your senses at every turn. From the seafood feasts awaiting you in the Mediterranean sections of the country which will have you dining like a king, to the night-life and party atmosphere of Beirut, there is no end to the adventure waiting just around the corner. The history of Lebanon is vast, and combined with an extremely hospitable people, an amazing culture, and breathtaking scenery, it's no wonder that the place is rated as one of the top traveler destinations on the planet.
Accommodations will vary depending upon the location, although for the most part the country is fairly developed. Visas will need to be obtained in advance before traveling, and currently any passport holding a used, unused, expired, or valid visa for Israel, or having a stamp or endorsement within their passport from Israel, will be denied entry into the country.

BeirutThe capital of Lebanon, situated on a small peninsula jutting out of the coastline into the Mediterranean Sea, Beirut is not only the country's largest city and main seaport, but also contains around half of the entire population of the country. These days, it is described by various travel sites as one of the top 10 destinations in the world, and in 2009 was named by the New York Times as the top place to visit for the year. The city is a testament to overcoming the odds, and has rebuilt itself ever since the tragic and destructive years during the Lebanese civil war, emerging into the 21st century as a modern hub that has created a city the entire world is watching and applauding.
The only way to really experience Beirut is to start in the heart of the city where all of the culturally-significant sites are. Most of the historical sites have been painstakingly renovated over the years since the civil war, and the markets which are spaced between create a unique maze that is a shopper’s paradise. The history of this place goes back more than 5,000 years, but it is mostly remembered for the major wars fought during the civil war era between the Christian and Muslim factions that started in 1975 and lasted nearly 15 years. In the last two decades since the city finally began to be rebuilt in 1989, it has transformed into one of the major Middle Eastern cities.
Beirut is a city very much living in the here and now. Its residents are eager to put behind them the tragedies of the 20th century, and so far they are doing an amazing job. Coming here means living entirely in the moment, enjoying a mixture of culture, heritage, and modernity as the people around you push forward into the 21st century with nothing in mind but enjoying their life and freedom.Beirut, Lebanon
