Being from Lebanon, but hardly living there, my wife and I decided to take a tour of the country of the cedars. It was totally arranged by Emirates Airlines. We arrived at Beirut International Airport on July 2nd where my father was waiting for us. We handed him our kids and went on with our tour guide to the hotel. We stayed at Century Park Hotel in Kaslik, Jounieh (about 10 km north of Beirut) for seven days. During this time, we went on several tours of a beautiful country that has almost finished rebuilding itself after many years of hardship. With all honesty, and not trying to be biased, Lebanon is a wonderful place to visit. Seven days were hardly enough to see it all. These are few of this memorable tour.
