Lebanon
Lebanon compresses an unlikely range into a small Mediterranean country: cedar-forested mountains rise steeply from a narrow coastal plain, and the Bekaa Valley opens behind them like a separate world. Beirut carries the weight of its complicated modern history alongside a café culture that persists with stubborn vitality. Arabic mixes with French and English in daily conversation, and the food — mezze spread across every table — may be the clearest expression of the culture.
About Lebanon
Overview
Lebanon sits on the eastern Mediterranean coast, bordered by Syria to the north and east and Israel to the south. Beirut is the capital and the country's commercial and cultural hub. Arabic is the official language, though French remains widely used in education and business. The Lebanese pound has faced severe instability in recent years; US dollars circulate alongside it in most transactions. The population is a mosaic of religious communities that shapes politics, architecture, and social life.
