New Year's Eve in Beirut

by daaaniel

Celebrating New Year's Eve over a mezze and a bottle of Ksara at Restaurant Istambuli. And later, walking the crowded corniche where happy pedestrians and mad chauffeurs we're showing their truly senses of happiness. These people know how to party!

Baalbek

by dr.firas

Of utmost importance for the cult of Jupiter Heliopolitanus were the 2 high altars on the flat roof of which scarifies were offered, the 2 ablution basins and 2 freestanding columns.All elements (altars basin and columns) played an important role in pre-Roman oriental cults.

During important religious feasts, various cities built their market stands.On the steps going down to the courtyard, were placed several pedestals for statues with votive inscriptions mentioning the names of the donors.

The most spectacular ancient ruins at Middle east, BAALBEK ruis. specially bacus's temple, even more spectacular than the parthenon in Athens. The valley is spectacular, full of wineyards. travelling through here, if you love art and history is a must. it's food, it's pita bread, it's Humous and falafel, its shoarma of chicken!; also the colour of the light, the contrasts between green, brown and blue in the coast; the Beituth Malecon, full off life, and mixture of religions.

We had a great meal on top floor of the Hilton Hotel. It overlooked the beautiful city. Also the walk through the city during the day was very intersting. there were many small shops and places to get a nice glass of wine.
