Tripoli is the second biggest city in Lebanon.It has the population of little less than a million!And it is a very famous city in Lebanon.And it is slowly built after the war to reach a better level and be as much close to Beirut the Capital, but still a big really big difference between the 2 cities.
Rush hour in Zahle is horrible, those many cars and the narrow streets are making the image really not very nice!But good things in Lebanese drivers, they respect the law and they are civilized and gentle with the walkers.
And in 1914 the first establishment of the trade affairs between Lebanon and Europe!After the war in Lebanon the good business was stopped, but after the war has ended and the rebuilding process in Lebanon which has soon begins right after the war!The good trade relation in shopping and trade returned.
In the year 1888 the sons of the Tsar of Russia came to visit Zahle and they spent one month in this beautiful city.They made first step of the concerned trade relation ship between the Russian commercials and Lebanese.
This is a very beautiful church, the most beautiful in Zahle, called the church of St. George.Zahle is very famous too in the grasp farming and wine business.They produce really good sorts of red and white and rose wine, and something we call Arak which is a special wine vodka with anis.
A view of the Sarai, which means the courthouse!Zahle is the famous city of the shops and shopping, trade and commercial things.Since the very early days when it was founded a basic way of trade was established between Zahle and Aleppo, Zahle and Damascus, Zahle and Jerusalem.
Of course this Heavy Cannon is from the Modern History!The Ottoman Period!they captured Byblos and made the Citadel a place of defending points where Cannons are firing the hells of bombs!Indeed I'm so happy to see it on the ground nowadays.
As the first Alphabet in the world was founded in Syria Ugarit near Latakia today!the Byblos Alphabet was one of the first too!after that one in Syria!ha ha ha indeed no Syria and Lebanon where called that time!it was all Major Syria:Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Israel!Yes believe it or not!it is a historical fact!
Byblos is a nice beautiful city not far from Beirut about 40 kms!a population of almost 60.000 it is very ancient and famous in Lebanon!and we took this picture in front of the vestibule of the entrance to the famous places.
The best thing about Lebanon is the frendliness of the people living there. And no, it's not just a clicheé. I've been to a lot of places but never seen such generousity anywhere.For example, we were viviting the mountain area outside the cedars and walking on the road. It didn't take long time before cars stopped and offered us a ride. To anywhere! One chap actually took us to a town not in his direction at all.
