Jounieh, Lebanon
The Mediterranean Sea dips into the Lebanese countryside in the picturesque Bay of Jounieh.
Jounieh is the capital of the Kerserwan region and is home to the prestigious Casino du Liban, as well as LBC (Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation).
Tripoli, Lebanon
Tripoli ("Ṭrāblos," in Arabic) is the second-largest city and second-largest port in Lebanon, with approximately 500,000 inhabitants, mainly Sunni Muslims, along with small communities of Christians and Alawite Muslims. Tripoli is located 85 km north of the capital, Beirut.
Beirut, Lebanon
Everyone says, dreamily, "it's the Paris of the Middle East." It's not. Beirut is its own funky animal: tense, beautiful, cracking with growth, assaulted by civil strife, graffitied with advertising for Starbucks and Applebees and perfumes from Paris, but without jobs for women, without futures for the young people bristling with university degrees.
