Lebanon is a small country on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea in Southwest Asia. Lubnan (Lebanon in Arabic) was known in the '60s as the Switzerland of the Middle-East and in the '80s as one of the most dangerous places in the world. Today, Lebanon has made progress toward rebuilding itself and regaining its national sovereignty since the end of the devastating 16-year civil war in 1991. With a land area of merely 10,452 sq km and a population of 4.4 million, Lebanon manages to attract the world's attention thanks to its very rich history, its famous touristic sites, its great cuisine and... the great hospitality of the Lebanese!
