Traveling in North Lebanon. Discover Some Tourist Attractions!
A Dutch tourist in Lebanon - traveling in North Lebanon. Check out some of the tourist attractions in this part of the country. My trip started in Enfeh, a fishing village on the Mediterranean coast which is famous for its white and blue Greek-style houses, old churches and more recently salt production. The trip continued to Amioun, the capital of a predominantly Greek Orthodox district. Then we drove up in the mountains. Here you can find some picturesque small towns like Enfeh, Bcharre and several ski resorts. In April, the peaks of Mount Lebanon were still covered with snow but spring was coming to the Kadisha Valley.
Travel Vlog - explore the city of Tyre / Sour and travel through South Lebanon.
Travel vlog - explore the city of Tyre (or Sour in arabic) and travel through South Lebanon up to the border town of Naqoura.
Tyre is an ancient Phoenician city and the legendary birthplace of Europa and Dido (the founder and first queen of Carthage). Today it is the second largest city in South Lebanon after Sidon (Saida). In Tyre, you will find several archaeological sites. The archaeological remains date back mainly to Roman times, including baths, an arena, a colonnaded road, a triumphal arch, an aqueduct and a hippodrome. As a tourist, you shouldn't miss the old town of Tyre with its fishing harbour and the neighbouring Christian Quarter. In the modern part of Tyre, you will find the corniche with plenty of restaurants and cafes.
South Lebanon is a primarily rural area. Driving through the countryside, one comes across many picturesque villages and small towns. The village of Maghdouche is one such place. It is located about 3 kms inland on the top of a hill. Maghdouche is known for the Lady of Mantara Statue and the Lady of Mantara Church.
The area along the Lebanese-Israeli border is also extremely beautiful and definitely worth exploring. Naqoura is a small coastal town located right at the border with Israel. It is home to a large UNIFIL base (the United Nations peacekeeping mission to Lebanon).

Travel to Beirut - LEBANON : AWSM S01E09
Sixth country in a round the world journey. After exploring the ruins of Baalbek, Anjar and the Bekka Valley, I spent the remainder of my short stay in Lebanon just walking around central Beirut. My favorite part was Martyrs Square, it's a memorial to resistance against Ottoman Turkey and former diving line during the countries civil war where you can see a Maronite Church next to a Sunni Mosque, both of which straddle ancient Roman ruins. As of January 29 there were still Christmas decorations up around the city. Other sites to see were the waterfront, the Corniche on the coast and Raouche rocks. Next stop in Doha, Qater.

Is Tripoli in North Lebanon safe to visit as a tourist?
Is Tripoli safe enough to visit as a tourist? In my opinion, YES. Still you might want to check with locals before visiting. Not to be confused with Tripoli - the capital of Libya, Tripoli or Trablous (the arabic name of the city) is Lebanon's second largest city after Beirut and the capital of the North Governorate. The city overlooks the eastern Mediterranean Sea and there is a string of uninhabited islands just off the coast of Tripoli. These are particularly nice to visit in the summer time, I was told. I stayed at Lamunia Wellness and Spa, a small boutique hotel in Al Qalamun where quite a few hotels are located. It is just a 10 minutes drive from the Al Mina neighbourhood and downtown Tripoli.
The citadel of Raymond de Saint-Gilles is located on a hilltop overlooking the city. The citadel of Tripoli was built by Raymon De Saint-Gilles, governor of Tripoli, in 1103 on the emplacement of the castle of Saint-Gilles.When the Mont Pèlerin quarter was set ablaze by the Mamluks in 1289, the castle of Saint-Gilles suffered from the holocaust and stood abandoned on the hilltop for the next eighteen years.
If you are visiting Tripoli, you should definitely plan a visit to Abdul Rahman Hallab & Sons in the city center. It is a luxurious pastry shop and restaurant, established in 1881 and famous for its oriental confectionaries.

Rise Above Lebanon (Full Version)
Commissioned by the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism, We spent 5 summer months filming Lebanon from Above, including its rural, urban, cultural touristic and historical location, as well as the amazing number of festivals.
The idea was to show Lebanon's beauty, diversity and wealth from another angle (above), in order to encourage and promote international and domestic tourism.
My main personal goal is to remind us all that Lebanon is not all about problems, political turmoil, trash...etc but is first and foremost a country that has so much to offer on such a small portion of land, and is still, in spite of everything, truly beautiful.
Maybe by seeing this video, people who lost sight of what Lebanon truly is, will have newfound optimism and strength to participate in steering the country in the right direction, to understand that it is their country to love and protect.
_____________________________________________________
We filmed from mid June to early November and covered Mount Lebanon, Beirut, Southern Lebanon, the Bekaa, Baalbek and North Lebanon.
We received amazing support from the Ministry of Tourism, as well as the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Defense, the Lebanese Air Force and the Lebanese Army Intelligence.
From the beginning, a social media campaign was created on Instagram, under @riseabovelebanon, which yielded a lot of interest and followers, reaching an organic 12,000 followers so far.
The book, also titled Rise Above Lebanon, was released on 2 December 2015. it is a hardcover photography book of the highest standard, with 200 pages of images of Lebanon from Above and is available in all major bookshops in Lebanon.
The video, of a duration of 5 minutes was released by Live Love Lebanon and the Ministry of Tourism on 4 February 2016 and immediately went viral, with over about 2 million views as well as over 40,000 shares, 12,000 likes and hundreds of comments (99% of which are positive).
The result is this video of 5 Minutes.
