Loz akhdar, or fuzzy green almonds, are a delicacy that is only available for a few weeks each spring, say from about mid-March until late April. Watch for the mounds of fuzzy, green (immature) almonds to appear at vegetable stands or on vendor carts on the street, and buy a few to try. Wash them thoroughly, then either sprinkle salt on them or bite off the end and dip the rest of the nut into a mound of salt on your plate.
Don't carry your bread in your hands... carry it on your wrist, as if it were a bracelet. As soon as I saw this piece of bread I fell in love with it: round and with a large hole in the middle - suits even the bigger wrists. It's called ka`ik, it's sold by street vendors about everywhere, it costs very little and... it's delicious!
To visit the archaeological areas, in Lebanon, you always pay the same price. In December 2003 the price was of 6000 Lebanese Pounds, which is roughly 4 US dollars. The only exception I came across was Baalbeck, where the prices are 12000 Lebanese pounds. And it's not too expensive if you consider the fact that you'll be seeing some of the most impressive roman ruins you'll ever come across (Rome included)
Finally!Finally a country where you can smoke in airport, bars, restaurants, hotels and taxis.Here you do not have to ask if smoking is possible as tables are full of ashtreys!awfully not in the flyghts, but it was just a 3 hours and half trip, so I could resist:-)

The most common car in Lebanon should be the Mercedes. At least almost all taxises are Mercedes cars. This car is standing on a street in Manara, western Beirut.People living in the house behind have put big sheets over the windows for protection from the sun.
Hee hee I told my daddy who was smiling all the time of my no trustable look in my face during the climbing trip to the mountain in the Tele ferric:"You can laugh as much as you can, but I believe that a human life is the most value thing he has".He laughed and told me that I am right,Well I can not do anything with my fear of high places like Plane or Tele ferric, I always argue: "give me a Para shout and I won't be anxious" LOL
The statue of the gorgeous Poseidon the God of seas and Oceans is placed between the passages of the 2 parts of Jeitas cave, the upper and lower caves,Great place to have a rest and eat something and wait for the small funny train to lead you down to the lower cave from the upper one!Tourists like me adore having a great picture with Poseidon.
An important seashore city, in the south west coast of Lebanon!Over 600,000 of population,Sidon has a very beautiful Citadel to be visited,And it was in the pages of the art and pictures of many foreign artists during different years of its history, Sidon is really a worth must see activity in Lebanon.
