Lebanon, called in its glory Switzerland of the Middle East, has unique climate properties, thanks to which you can ski in the morning on the same day, and in the afternoon swim in the Mediterranean, where the water temperature often exceeds 20 degrees Celsius.
Lebanon is the region’s most multi-cultural country – not only because of immigrants, but also because of its religious diversity: both Muslims and Christians live here (60:40 ratio). Although this diversity led to a civil war in the 1970s, it also influences Lebanon’s colorfulness and definitely distinguishes it from other countries in the region. Of course, Lebanon also has the best Middle Eastern cuisine based on fresh vegetables, meat and seafood.
