I had an amazing time in Sannine! You could see Lebanon in all its width from the sea to the mountains of the Syrian borders. Lebanon has so many beautiful places to visit. It’s lovely to be the ‘tourist’ from time to time. Especially when you live here and when you are too busy or caught up in routine to take the time for such activities. Lately I am finding my tourist friends informing me about Lebanon, how shameful! This trip has motivated me to put a limit to extra work, and to make an effort to enjoy the beauties of Lebanon on a regular basis. Thank you Pascal for the motivation! :)

Here are some sketches I drew while picnicking in an old abandoned farm near Baskinta. (click to view in large size)

Any suggestions for beautiful places to visit in Leb?

    Hello,

    I guess you were drinking “Rim” on your way:)

    Humm Sannine is nice, how about Korne El Sawda, the highest peak in Lebanon I guess :)

    J’ai visite et vécu dans toutes les régions du Liban, c’est un pays magnifique que tous les libanais doivent découvrir pour être a la hauteur de leur identité.
    C’est a travers ce site que j’invite les citoyens a visiter ce petit monde qu’englobe notre pays car de cette façons nous pouvons nous libérer de tous les rejugés et l’ignorance qui sont a la base de nos problèmes.
    Dans cette perspective je ne peux pas suggérer une région a visiter. Tu n’as qu’a prendre la carte et de choisir chaque semaine un région et de faire le tour durant les jours qui reste de cet été.:D
    Bonne chance dans ton tour, et désolé pour ce long messag

    Simply a-ma-zing!
    I’m an Italian journalist and I’ve been travelling a lot in Lebanon in the past two years.
    I love this country…it’s like many different worlds living together!
    I love the South. I think it’s wonderful and so unknown to many people to whom South means war. I find it extremely interesting, with its culture, its history and its traditions.

    Suggestion: Tyre, Baalback, Zahle, Jazzine…any place in Lebanon!

    You should go to Aïtanit (where i come from) in the Southern Bekaa (wait for me to be in lebanon, i’ll be your guide) :-)
    I just love walking in Beirut during the day, you discover the city in a different light (although last time i went to Wadi Bou jmil to take pictures of the old synaguoge i got yelled at by security people “You can’t take pictures of the whole street!!!! Put your camera away” errr….why????)

    i like “the let’s start” pose with the red lips..hihihi never saw u with lipstick even in real life…hahahahaha
    i suggest u go to the mountains (north) ; u pass by hasroun, hadad and tannourine …my gd parents used to live in a remote village higher than tannourine called “3ain el raha” situated on a small river between too mountains.. electricity and roads reached the area only few years ago..has few houses less than 10, very smalll church …it’s heaven on earth i just love it..
    ps. take food with u, wear boots …leave ur car (preferrably 4×4), the roads are tight and not tarred
