Multi Level Apartments in Tranquil Clean District, Beirut, Lebanon

My motherland and the country I call home, Lebanon, is a small country that you can roam from the south to the north in one day. It is a unique country located in the Middle East. It is special because it has a rich history and a great mix of cultures, religions, and traditions. Lebanon has beautiful landscapes that make it special, with stunning mountains, beaches, and valleys where you can be at the top of the mountains and view the sea, and then be at the beach within minutes to an hour. The Mediterranean Sea on its coast has mesmerizing views, and you can almost hear the waves whisper serenity. The famous snow-capped mountains make great slopes for skiing in winter. Lebanon’s cities, like Beirut, Saida, Nabatiyeh and many more are vibrant with life, full of history, delicious food, and warm, friendly people. In my country, we still stop our cars for strangers to give them a lift on our way, and people like to help each other. The community is close together and people visit each other always. When someone is sick, they make sure to check up on them and give them support. My Lebanon is famous for its delicious cuisine, like hummus, tabbouleh, shawarma and falafel among many other dishes. What makes Lebanon truly special is the welcoming atmosphere for people from all over the world. We have tourists who come from everywhere to visit and we welcome them. You should visit Lebanon soon!
