 temple in byblos by xaver Fondest memory, I guess mine was the other side of mediterranean sea, it was the first time for me and that made me think of how many different countries and cultures you may meet just going around this small sea, a small sea that still hides so many legends, boats, treasures, blood, hopes and dreams.

by MalenaN Lebanon don't have many public beaches. Just south of the town Jbail (Byblos) there are the sandy beaches Tam-Tam and Paradise. To go here from Beirut you can take a bus going north from Charles Helou Station and ask to be dropped at the beaches. From the highway there is a road going down the slope to the sea.

by MalenaN When you are going to explore the historical site the Crusader Castle is a good place to start at as there is a beautiful view over the area and the sea from the roof. When the castle was built in the 12th century by the Franks blocks from the ancient temples were used. Leave a Comment

by MalenaN The harbour might be one of the oldest in the world. From here the famous Lebanese ceder was shipped to other towns during ancient time. There are small fishing boats and a few boats for sight-seeing. Around the harbour are some restaurants and a hotel. Leave a Comment

by MalenaN The squared foundation in the middle are the ruins of Temple of Baalat Gebal which is the oldest temple at Byblos. It is from the 4th millenium BC. The temple was important until Roman times. Close to the sea there is a house built during the Ottoman period. Leave a Comment

 a view of Tyre by call_me_rhia Heading south of Beirut is an amazing trip into modern history. The farther south you go, the more you see and feel about the troubles in the middle east. UN army people become more and more common - and so do checkpoints. Once you reach Tyre you sometimes wonder if the UN people outnumber the local people
It's my favourite part of Lebanon - vibrant - sadly still scarred from the recent political events. Tyre is absolutely wonderful and the village of Qana the saddest place (together with Mostar) that I have ever visited - and at the same time the place where I long to return: a real lesson in life.

AD. It consists of a cella built on a 12m. High podium, and a courtyard surrounded by a colonnaded portico. Leave a Comment

 OUR SINGER by sarrahh Her voice is silk and flame in one. In Lebanon, we sway with it, sail the seas with it as our mast, and because of it we love. Our betrothed women ask us to seal them with her voice, to dissolve its whispers into pearls for a necklace, and with its vibrations to encircle their waists; they beg us to pluck love songs for them from this voice alone. The fighter among us who finds in her voice the will to survive, hears through it the swish of the sword and experiences his moment of valor. so dont miss any festival anyway when she will sing i will tell u b4 Leave a Comment

 Tripoli by dr.firas Tripoli of Lebanon was really a chosen place to settle the Palestinian refugees! Big population of Palestinians is living here in this city. Many other cities in all the Arabian countries let the refugees to settle in many cities it have. But Palestinians are still keeping their passports and don’t have the new passport of the new place, As they know in spite of all the full rights they are having in any Arabian country, there place where they should go back someday when the whole situation is stabilized is their legal home Palestine. I’m totally for the peace in our sad wounded Middle East and for Justice and fair as well. Leave a Comment
