Lebanon

Lebanon History: Lebanon is the historic home of the Phoenicians, Semitic traders whose maritime culture flourished there for more than 2,000 years. The region was a territory of the Roman Empire and during the Middle Ages was involved in the Crusades. It was then taken by the Ottoman Empire. Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the League of Nations mandated the five provinces that make up present-day Lebanon to France. Modern Lebanon's constitution, drawn up in 1926, specified a balance of political power between the various religious groups.

Geography: A Middle Eastern country, Lebanon is demarcated to the west by the Mediterranean (Coast: 225 kilometers) and to the east by the Syro-African Depression. Lebanon borders Syria for 375 kilometers to the north and to the west and Israel for 79 kilometers to the south. The border with Israel has been approved by the United Nations, although a small piece of land called "Shebaa farms" located in the Golan Heights is still occupied by Israel. See here on the left side a map exploring Lebanon location and tourist attractions and sight seeing as well. (Reference Ministry of Tourism of Lebanon).
