Beirut

Beirut is the capital of Lebanon and a city with many faces, each more interesting than the one before. The local nightlife is one of the most active in the Middle East, and there are 18 religions practiced in the country, so of course there's a huge number of religious buildings: the prayer rooms of orthodox churches, Catholic churches, mosques, Druze ... there are some very interesting cultural centres that periodically host exhibitions. The Pigeon's Rocks are a series of rock formations near the coast, protected by UNESCO, and are the natural highlight of the city. You can get around by taxis, collective taxis, or buses ...

Different than other Middle Eastern countries because the population is so diverse. They have great cuisine to discover.

Gorgeous lovely people and exquisite food. Lovely hiking and running and shops thriving down town Beirut souks ultra modern and totally safe.
