Description: Lebanon (Arabic: لبنان Lubnān), officially the Lebanese Republic (Arabic: ... more
Lebanon ... الجمهورية اللبنانية), is a small, largely mountainous country in the Middle East, located at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Syria to the north and east, and Israel to the south. The flag of Lebanon features a cedar in green against a white backdrop, bounded by two horizontal red stripes along the top and bottom. Due to its sectarian diversity, Lebanon follows a special political system, known as confessionalism, meant to distribute power as evenly as possible among different sects.

Crowned Review Paradise Missed! (Or so it would seem) (4327 words)

The Lebanon may not seem an ideal holiday destination to many, but to some, the idea is rather tempting. Most people are in a sense still frightened, because of the war that tore the country for over 15 years, from 1975 (although some say earlier) until 1990. Who can blame them?

I am a Lebanese American, born in America, and presently going to university in America as well, but I attended both middle school and High School in Beirut, Lebanon. I have a great love for the country, even with all its little inadequacies. I believe it is a great travel destinatation as, unlike you may think, the people are very kind and accepting, and willing to do whatever they can to help you. There is no raging war as some still believe, but there is a beautiful country where (people say) you can swim and ski in the same day - I never tried, with Roman and Byzantine ruins scattered throughout the country and quite well preserved if you consider how long the ...  Read the complete review

Lebanon is a great country one can find many wonderful things in it. Its capital is Beirut which has a great climate all over the year. In Beirut one can find many stores great stores, restaurants, and cafes. You can buy many things in cheap prices. Other important places in Lebanon are Tripoli, Tyre, Sidon, and Jbayl. The Lebanese mountains are great places for people to have their vacations in. The air and land are clean. Their are many trees in Lebanon and the most important ones are the cedars. I think Lebanon could have been a very important country if it wasn't for the war that stayed hundreds of years. Lebanese people are known as smart citizens, and ...  Read the complete review
