Ignorance and hezbollah, no denial, we know israel and zionism in general are enemies, but hezbolla did contribute in the destruction of Lebanon as well as Israel, no contest Edited by Maher, Jun 16 2011, 07:39 PM.

I have been to Jordan, Tunisia, Libya, Turkey, Palestine/Israel, and Egypt but Lebanon seem to be the most beautiful area in the Middle East after Turkey.

Lebanon has been one of the countries I've always wanted to visit. God Willing one day my ambitions will be fulfilled. In particular, I would like to see the Jeita Grotto limestone caves in Mount Lebanon. Of course, the souqs are always worth visiting. Brother Maher, in Lebanese souqs, is it possible to buy frankincense?

Misanthrope Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #1,312 Joined: Nov 18, 2010 Gender: Female Ancestry: Middle Eastern Religion: Spiritual Politics: Far Right	I miss everything about Lebanon: The Mediterranean climate that offers tolerable heat on the shores and the cooler mountains nearby, abundant rainfall in certain regions and snow/skiing in Jounieh, the laid back, open minded, neighbourly and energetic people, the FOOD, the folk music and dances, the variety of architecture, the small alley ways in the old villages that's interesting to explore, feeding stray cats, my familys' apartment and the memories, picking fruit from the trees in the farm, and sometimes feeling my heart drop when I come across a war torn building, but the spirit of Beirut and Lebanon is still strong. The list goes on and on... I also admire how Lebanese people/Arabs from the North in general are more fond of the outdoors than their Southern counterparts (with the exception of Yemeni people). I guess it's just something I noticed from all the people I've met. I would love to go camping in Turkey and the Caucasus region, though. They're only a small road trip away from Lebanon! Thanks for posting those beautiful/nostalgic pictures.

Misanthrope Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #1,312 Joined: Nov 18, 2010 Gender: Female Ancestry: Middle Eastern Religion: Spiritual Politics: Far Right	What am I? That's a question I wish I had a short and direct answer for. Simply put, my community came from an area near Petra, Jordan and migrated South into Hijaz, and eventually we settled in San'aa, Yemen for many centuries (never have been there). But my entire family is not Yemeni by blood. I've seen North Americas deserts, swamps, mountains, and forests. Beautiful! I've also had the luxury to journey across Arabia (Rub' il Khalee) in an old minivan staring at nothing but sand from the window. So until the situation in Syria and the Middle East dies down a little, I don't think too many people will go camping or road tripping this summer.. Maher saying how its boring to go by car, but i still think arabs in general dont like roadtrips as much as westerners That's why some people venture Arabia by camel or horseback! That's definitely more exciting and traditional than sitting in a minivan, haha.
