Lebanon, once considered being the "Paris of the East" is a beautiful country well worth a visit. For a surprisingly small country, Lebanon packs it all - ancient cities, glorious Roman ruins, fabulous ski resorts, perfect windsurfing beaches combined with loads of charms and hints of the simple Islamic architecture. For those interested in ancient civilization, Lebanon offers an array of historical sights.
Traditional dances, folklore musical shows offer visitors a taste of local culture. "Belly dancing" is a showstopper at both the nightclubs and private parties. Day trips to historic coastal towns, lovely mountain villages, hike in a deep gorge, relax in a traditional coffee shop, boogie to the Latin rhythms or western music; an incredibly diverse country with something for everyone.
