A Brief Guide To Lebanon (African And Middle Eastern Travel Guides)

Lebanon is a revelation for travellers and visitors, a place known mostly for human tragedy. Now at last a fledgling peace has endured for a few years. Today Lebanon is welcoming back adventurers, explorers, trekkers and curious visitors. The country has witnessed the passage of most civilisations of the world: Phoenicians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, the Crusaders, the birth of Islam, the Ottomans and European colonials, before gaining an uneasy independence. The stunning archaeological remains bear witness to this long and colourful history. The history, cultural attractions and the mix of people are fascinating. For adventure seekers, the mountains and the long-distance cross-country trail offer superb scenery and trekking.This up-to-date guide does not endeavour to be all encompassing and fully comprehensive, but aims to open a small window on an enigmatic country that so few travellers have visited in recent times. Go soon!
