LEBANON
COUNTRY OF DIVERSITY
Bordered on one side by the Mediterranean and on the other by two parallel mountain ranges, Lebanon is virtually suspended between sea and sky.
Small and beautiful, Lebanon packs widely diverse geography, landscape, culture and history within its 10,452 square kilometers.
From blue-green sea waters to a verdant countryside, from arid hills to lush pine and cedar forests, the visitor is greeted by a land mystery and contrasts.
Bare rocky mountains give way to luxuriant valleys with rolling rivers and dramatic waterfalls. Views transform instantly from pine-covered hills to breathtaking rocky landscapes, to fertile plains replete with farms and vineyards.
Lebanon is also a country with a rich cultural heritage shaped by 10,000 years of history.
Even at the dawn of mankind, the country’s natural beauty and its privileged geographical
position at the crossroads of three continents, attracted conquerors and occupiers, all of whom left behind traces of their civilizations.
Each new arrival left an indelible imprint to the makeup that would become modern Lebanon.
The rich cultural legacy is evident through the extraordinary variety of archeological sites interspersed throughout the land.
From Phoenician sarcophagi to Roman temples, from Crusader castles to Mamlouk mosques, splendid remnants from various ancient civilizations abound in the country.
Lebanon’s illustrious cuisine, like its culture, combines a diverse mosaic of ingredients.
The Lebanese mezze - countless dishes of savory hors-d’oeuvres that are endlessly replenished – has become a culinary legend throughout the globe.
Words also could never express the timeless and unique charms of Lebanon.
The country has to be experienced first-hand to be truly appreciated, so we invited you to visit this bountiful land, where scenic mountain roads and modern highways lead from town to village, from ancient site to modern city, from one historic epoch to another.
Sports and Outdoor activities
Lebanon is the ideal destination for sports and fitness buffs. Health clubs abound in and around the capital, and most are open to visitors. In additional to health clubs, there are tennis and squash courts, swimming pools, and a golf course in Beirut. Lebanon’s diverse topography also allows for countless outdoor activities. The snow-covered mountains with their promise of endless days of ski are just an hour’s drive from the capital. In early spring, it’s even possible to ski in the morning and then spend the afternoon swimming in the Mediterranean’s temperate waters.
The country’s six major ski stations are the Cedars, Laqlouq, Faqra, Qanat Bakish, Zaarour, and Ouyoun al Siman, and the most popular and best equipped of all ski resorts.Water sports are also available almost year-round. Sandy beaches dot the southern Lebanese coast, most notably in Jiyye, Rmeileh, and Tyre, while resorts lie along the northern coast, particularly in Jounieh, Byblos, and Halat. Beirut has also its share of stylish beach resorts.
Scuba buffs can explore the World Warr II submarine off the coast of Khaldeh, just south of Beirut, while stunning Phoenician remains lie off the Tyre coastline.
Adventures can paraglide high in the sky in the Cedars or paddle down the Awwali river in a canoe or kayak. Visitors can also hike the steep, luch slopes of Mount Sannine, ride through the mountains in an all-terrain vehicle, or explore deep caves in one of Lebanon’s speleo clubs. Organized treks and hikes are widely available and allow visitors to take in Lebanon’s awesome natural beauty first-hand.
