Lebanese night

by sarrahh

Lebanese Night Song: Eliss and Chris Du BurghIt was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,And in her eyes I saw the stars, And I felt something happen in my heart;Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,It was then I heard the echoes of a child;And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby, And the sound of the guns in the night, And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,From the hell that came down from the sky? On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,Her tears fell down, the sun came up, And I saw...

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

Where history embraces modernity

by spoutnek

It is needless to say that Lebanon is the bridge between the East and the West. It is the oxygen of the Middle East. Lebanese mother toungue is something like that: ''Hi, Kifak, Ca va'' ( hi, how are you doing, fine?)or ''Maitre, il fatoura, please'' Waiter, the bill, please) Three languages in one!!! More and more and more...

Outer Facade

by dr.firas

The decoration of the outer facade as well as the richly ornamented column capitals, which were covered with Bronze and Gold during the 3rd c. AD, could be seen from far and grave the entrance its impressive character.

going inland

by call_me_rhia

Lebanon is traversed by two mountain ranges - both with snow-capped peaks - if you visit in winter. It's a scenic area - and there are also some ski-resorts (which I did not bother visiting). Between the two ranges there's a lush valley: the Bekaa - wonderful suggestive landscapes. My reason for going there - in particular to the bekaa valley, was to visit Baalbeck. Amazing roman ruins - huge and imposing. Even in Rome I have not seen such perfect beauty... such splendour

the south

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.

the north

by call_me_rhia

Granted that Lebanon is the most heavily-densed populated country in the middle east, and sometimes it's hard to figure out where one city ends and another start... the northern you go, the more "typically" traditional Middle Eastern the towns appear. Tripoli is a world apart from Beirut Colourless - but fascinating in its own way. I only visited Tripoli in the north, and I liked it a lot. I liked the atmosphere of orderly chaos, the smells in the souks, and the friendliness of the people. There's an air of peace that's quite unique
