Following is Part II of our small trip. In Beirut, we first arrived there first, it is particularly striking green. If you come from Jordan, does that really good to feel a little bit like in Southern Europe.
Beirut is considered the most liberal city in the Middle East, here it is to give the best clubs in the region and even style of dress for women is in some European quarters. But Beirut is also very expensive, at least for the region, prices in cafes and restaurants are comparable to prices in Europe.
What is very interesting to
But the traces of the many wars in Beirut are everywhere apparent. The downtown Solidere was completely destroyed in the civil war and a million project rebuilt a few years ago. Often you can see some bullet holes in houses, traces of the civil war and still want Some buildings completely destroyed in the city.
The traces of the last war-2006, are still strong in the southern suburbs of Beirut visible, even if slowly began to rebuild.
The political situation in Lebanon is still very tense, the many assassinations of politicians, the war last year and the upcoming elections have a high security squad to follow.
