 Main courtyard by TheWanderingCamel
They start setting the seating up in the weeks before the Festival and sections of the palace will be closed as exhibitions are being mounted so you might want to check this before you make the trip up the mountain. Leave a Comment

There are a lot of buildings along the coast north of Beirut and difficult to see where one town ends and the other starts. I never saw a sign saying Jbail. After some time I started to get worried that the bus already had passed Jbail (it stops along the highway) and I saw a sign saying Amchit. So, we had already passed Jbail. The driver stopped the bus, gave me the 1000 LL back and pointed to the other side of the road. I didn't have to wait many minutes before a bus came and took me to Jbail. Leave a Comment

I didn't have any difficulties to enter Lebanon. It was very easy both at the airport in Beirut and at the Syrian border (Masnaa).
But I met a Polish woman travelling with her boyfriend (Adam and Ewa) in Syria and Jordan (in 2002). They were going to Lebanon for a couple of days but she couldn't enter. Ewa was told the reason was that she was under 30 years and not married. Adam got the visa and visited Lebanon alone while Ewa had to return to Damascus . Maybe she was just unlucky! Leave a Comment

Be careful around Beirut as everyone in lebanon is a terrorist or is at least related to one....
WAKE UP!! the middle east is nothing like you see on the news, it's not a complete war zone where people are behind us 50 years, it's one of the best places in the world. If you are here expecting desert, camels, bandits and strict muslim countries then you will be sadly dissapointed... Leave a Comment

 Baalbeck by dr.firas
But in general any one will realize that its a civilized country, and that people do everything to be similar to the Europeans .its good for the view *look* and bad for the Quintessence *Inside*.
They should -in my opinion- keep there own real manners. Leave a Comment

As i've already said in my Tripoli tips that one thing that is both good and bad about lebanon is the distinct lack of Red Tape at historical sites etc. It's good because you can get unspoiled photographs and you can climb on the ruins etc... it's bad if you have kids because safety features are not exactly standard here.
eg i was standing on the wall at tripoli castle but could have easily fallen off as there was no barrier.
This is not a complaint however this kind of freedom is something i would love to see in the uk, but please be careful Leave a Comment

 Tripoli by dr.firas
Yes if a person doesn’t know the system in Lebanon he or she will be certainly stolen!*People who do not know the system may get TAKEN FOR A RIDE* Thanks to my dear friend Nat b1bob for the terminology!
As in Lebanon you can stop a Taxi and ask him before you go for a ride with him the famous question:
How many “services” you’ll take from me to reach the Citadel –for example- as what we call a service means a cheap Taxi which is going with more than one person but to the same direction.
And the Cabs and Services are the same Cars.
So now you know how much you’ll have an economic deal. Taxi “cab” will take for example 20,000 Lebanese Lir, and one 3 services will coast only 3000 Lebanese Lir.
Ok now I can hear you saying to me Thanks Doctor Firas, your advices are really helpful.

goes without saying really but don't take any pictures of a checkpoint or a millitary training area or you will be arrested and probably beaten to a pulp... ok i'm exaggerating there but it won't be taken lightly Leave a Comment

 looking down down down by uglyscot
The trip up to Harissa involves a 800 metre trip by telefrique.
Although the country is safe, there is still a strong military presence [both Lebanese and Syrian army]. While we were there , there were demonstrations in the suburbs against increased fuel prices; and there were 6 deaths. So keeping to the more populated areas is advisable Leave a Comment
