Lebanon: Crossroads of the Middle East and Melting Pot of Multiculturalism

Located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon is a unique country in the Middle East, with Beirut, the capital, once known as the "Paris of the Middle East". This land is the birthplace of the Phoenicians, with a rich history and a unique Arab-Western hybrid civilization, where multiple religions (Christianity, Islam, Druidism, Shiism, Sunnism, etc.) and cultures have mingled. Famous for its cuisine, cedars and poetry, Lebanon was once the financial and tourist center of the Middle East. However, while the country has faced serious challenges in recent years as a result of political unrest, economic collapse (from 2019) and the 2020 bombing of the Beirut port, its resilient cultural vitality and the resilience of its people continue to attract the world's attention.
