Life on the edge in Lebanon

This small war torn country is on the list of up and coming places for travellers to visit.  To me it is still very much emerging, and is a challenge to explore. 

Action stations…

  • Get lost in the streets of Beirut.  Bullet riddled dwellings stand alongside newly constructed buildings.  The mixture of past and present on the same street is surreal.
  • Witness the fragile state of this nation.  An ever alert army stands ready to defend the country.  Tanks are on the streets, razor wire surrounds key buildings and along the coastal walkway armed guards are stationed strategically.
