Lebanon’s
mountains, summer haven & winter ski !
On the eastern Mediterranean coast, Lebanon
is known for its range of mountains that are
close to the seashore. In the summer,
the mountain villages and towns become summer
retreats, sought for their cool
weather and green scenery. In the winter,
other mountain areas flourish as ski
destinations, because of their
peaks, slopes and undisturbed snow. Lebanon
through out history has been an integral part
of the Middle East region; The Phoenicians
initially established coastal city states all
along the eastern Mediterranean coast, over
the succeeding millennia the region
continuously evolved, due to different
influences and migration of people and
their interaction, resulting in the present
day multicultural Lebanon. Arabic
is the official language,
French and
English
are spoken & understood.
Lebanon is rebuilding and the country is an
interesting destination to visit and explore,
"taking in to consideration, the social and
infrastructure shortage that accompanies the
rebuilding process". A valid passport and a visa
is required to visit, which can be obtained at
the airport for most nationalities, check
details with any Lebanese diplomatic mission.
