Bordered on one side by the Mediterranean sea and on the other by two parallel mountain ranges, Lebanon is country suspended between the sky and the sea.
Despite its small area (10,452 square km), it is a land resplendent in its diverse geography, landscape, culture and history.
From the white-capped mountains and blue sea, to the countryside. from arid hills to lush forests, the visitor discovers a series of contrasts. Bare Rocky Mountains are followed by luxuriant valleys watered by rivers and waterfalls. The view changes quickly from pine covered hills to dramatic rocky landscapes, to fertile plains laid out with farms and vineyards.
