About Lebanon

Tucked away in the easternmost corner of the Mediterranean Sea lies Lebanon. A small republic of spectacular beauty with sunny beaches, cool mountains and ancient cedars. This tiny country, of only 4 million people, endured 15 years of mad war. Now is rising from the ashes on its way again to become one of the most beautiful nations in the Middle East.

Lebanon has made progress toward rebuilding its political institutions since 1991 and the end of the devastating 16-year civil war. Under the Ta'if Accord - the blueprint for national reconciliation - the Lebanese have established a more equitable political system. Since the end of the war, the Lebanese have conducted several successful elections, most of the militias have been weakened or disbanded, and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have extended central government authority over about two-thirds of the country.

Lebanon is once again becoming a "melting pot" of peoples as many come for vacations and native Lebanese are returning home. In Lebanon, there is something for everyone, won't you join us!!
