Hanna Mitri Ice Cream: Beirut's Finest
I truly doubt that all Lebanese people don't know or have not heard of Hanna Mitri. The one and only Hanna Mitri known for his uniquely fresh ice cream, perfect Maamoul and arrogantly rude character. Following his steps is his son Mitri Hanna, the sole carrier of this legend's recipes. I spent two whole hours tasting what I can safely say is the best ice cream in the world. So if you think you’ve had good ice cream before; trust me, you haven’t until you’ve tasted Hanna Mitri’s Middle Eastern ice cream in Achrafieh.
Chtaura: Famous for its Dairy Products and Labneh Sandwiches
Chtaura is a town in Lebanon in the fertile Beqaa valley located between the Mount Lebanon and the Anti-Lebanon mountain range. It is located halfway on the Beirut - Damascus highway. It is located 44 km from Beirut.
Chtaura is the valley's hub for banking, transportation, and commerce. Hotels, and restaurants are plentiful there for the traveler on the main road. From Chtaura, the traveler can depart for Zahlé, Baalbek, or Damascus.
A few kilometers south from Chtaura on the main road lies the village of Tannayal (Aramaic for the Grace of God). There is located an estate, now a farm, owned by the Jesuit fathers since 1860. Exotic fowl including peacock and doves can be found there. It is a working farm and also serves as a teaching facility for the Faculty of Agriculture at Saint Joseph University located in Beirut.
Lebanon Hills Campground Complete Tour
This is a complete tour of the campground at Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Minnesota. It includes all three campground areas, the West Loop (paved, large pull-through RV sites), North Loop, (rustic tent sites), and the East Loop, (private wooded, electric sites for smaller RVs, campers, and tents.)
In my opinion, this is an awesome campground option due to the fact its located smack-dab in the southern suburbs of the Twin Cities, but has a secluded, state-park feel when you're inside.
Lebanon Hills Regional Park Campground is located in Apple Valley Minnesota near the Minnesota Zoo. The Mall of America, the Premier Outlet Center, Fort Snelling, and the Twin Cities International Airport are all within a short drive.
