This is pretty sad and worrying for most Lebanese since another conflict with Israel seems inevitable sometime in the future. The reason I say that is because of Hezbollah. We were actually lucky enough to spend a day in the beautiful Bekaa Valley which is predominantly Hezbollah territory.

We were on the boat and we had the opportunity to take several pictures. We had also visited the town Baalbeck and its many temples that constituted an exceptional historical patrimony for the country. Patrice wanted absolutely to see a basketball match of Beyrut the capital http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/Chouf/blog-569906.html Last year Wael and I chose to go to Lebanon to visit Waels family for the summer holiday.

The atmosphere was amazing and we lived unbelievable things and we are going to tell you about them . http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/Chouf/blog-569884.html You would have kicked yourself had you not got to Baalbek or I'd have kicked you promised Nick who lives in the Middle East.For anyone with any knowledge of Roman ruins andor the Middle Eastern history Baalbek is a mustsee. For me ignorant of Classical remains despite the best efforts of two Classicist parents this was my first real live Roman ruin and quite literally it http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-512415.html Gdy zblizalismy sie do Baalbek witaly nas po drodze flagi Hezbollahu portrety Hassana Nasrallaha sic i martyrow przystrojonych kwiatami i karabinami. Hassan N. jest liderem Hezbollahu i osoba wielce powazana. Przynajmniej przez niektorych. Urodzil sie jako dziewiate z dziesieciu dzieci a sam ma juz piatke. Studiowal wlasnie w Baalbek i w Qom w Iranie.

Droga z Beirutu na polnoc szczelnie obudowana jest sklepami centrami handlowymi fastfoodami i domami a wszystko ozdabiaja wielkie billboardy.

Ruch w Libanie odbywa sie wedlug jednej zlotej regul http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-504416.html We'd decided to do the Lebanon side trip with a 'Why not' kind of attitude. Already so close it seemed like it would be a shame not to. We therefore had little knowledge nor expectation of what we'd make of Lebanon. Setting out at the crack of dawn that morning for the drive to the historical sight of Baalbek our lack of expectation made to the delight of Baalbek all the more astounding. We kne http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-496407.html We pulled into Baalbek amidst a little military presence and all sorts of Hezbollah propaghanda and were promptly struck up by a enterprising fellow to buy a Hezbollah tshirt. I thought this a little ironic We wandered the town with our cameras and shot a few photos of interesting sights. After a few minutes I was stopped by a guy that was driving a bus full of children and he demanded http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-494066.html Lebanon has been a country with many surprises of course the majority of these being enjoyable. Perhaps the best surprise of this trip though was getting the opportunity to feel Roman. Or when I say Roman in this case I mean walking through the well preserved ancient Roman sites and when you have the temple all to yourself who's going to stop you from pretending. Even though I traveled t http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-422473.html We spent our first few days in Lebanon in the mountains. The scenery and the weather were both enjoyable. The valleys trees Christian churches and mountain air was not the typical Middle Eastern scene. We left the Lebanese holiday spots checked out the Cedars and cruised by the ski resorts before we journeyed into the Bekaa Valley.We made it through the winding roads and were shocked by the fer http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-421941.html On Sunday we woke up early and putzed around for a while at Starbucks I know... but it's open early which turned out to be a fountain of useful information. First we learned that today was daylight savings here. Then I finally asked someone about the taxi situation because I am oh so tired of paying so much for cabs and Ryan isn't big on waiting around for buses. It turns out you just have http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-388159.html Baalbek en rabe Ba'lbakk es actualmente una localidad del Lbano de 25.000 habitantes a unos 200 km al este de Beirut.

Kahlil GibranMy plan was to transit through Lebanon to get to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus but as usual my plans changed and I decided to just stay in Lebanon. I just kept my fingers crossed that the consequences of an expired visa wouldn't be too serious. Everything always seemed to work itself out so my plan http://www.travelblog.org/Middle-East/Lebanon/Baalbek/blog-222055.html Approximately 90 kilometers northeast of the city of Beirut in eastern Lebanon stands the magnificent temple complex of Baalbek the ruins are one of the holiest places of ancient times.
